BRIEF BIOGRAPHY Henry R. Feeser was born January 8, 1939 in Springfield, Ohio. His experience includes twenty-five years service with the United States Navy (Commander, USN (Retired)), where he served in combatant surface ships, offshore and in-country Vietnam, in combat systems, electronics, ship procurement, and shipbuilding. He is currently receiving disability from the VA for Agent Orange exposure. His business experience spans over forty years in various phases of the truck manufacturing, building construction, electronic, weapons, shipbuilding, and computer/computer-related consulting industries. He has been directly responsible for the startup of four companies, and a angel to the funding of a fifth. He taught at the university level (Strategic Management and Marketing) for over five years prior to entering the consulting business; both graduate and under graduate students always evaluated his teaching skills as superior. For fun, Hank likes to garden and sails their Catalina 30 in Padre Island waters. He sometimes crews on racing sailboats and enjoys the Rolex 24 where he crewed a Porsche GT3 in 2004.He and his wife Linda are avid supporters of Canine Companions for Independence and sponsored Brutti RIP (top left), a therapy dog for Caring Paws. |
