| Web Site -
I created and maintain the official USPSA web site. I proposed this
project to the USPSA president back in 1995, well before the Internet
became a popular phenomena. Then President Andy Hollar has estimated
that the services I donated "would have easily cost between $50,000
and $100,000" in an e-mail he send the
board of directors in September, 1999.

AWARE Invitational -
I was the business manager and prize coordinator of the AWARE
Invidational from 1993 to 1996. During that time, I grew this event
from a local match with under 100 shooters to a major championship.

Internet IPSC Discussion List -
I created the unofficial IPSC mailing list (ipsc@shooters.com) over 5 years
ago. I established this Internet e-mail list so that individuals
involved in the sport who were not officials of USPSA or IPSC would
have a mechanism for effective mass communication.

Free Web hosting -
I negotiated donation of web hosting services to USPSA, saving
our organization thousands of dollars each year.

Local Match Contribution -
I regularly contribute to matches at the local level. A couple of
years ago, New England shooters were faced with the prospect of no
local winter matches, since all the indoor clubs in the locality had
stopped running local matches. I proposed that each local club offer
to run a monthly match at a local club which has the facilities, but
not the necessary staff, to host events.
Our section was able to arrange a regular winter
match series, now in its third year.

Recruitment - I have turned the USPSA web page into
an effective recruiting tool. Our on-line inquiry system generates dozens
of prospects each week, and the secure transaction processing system has
been used by over 1000 new USPSA members.

|
Technical Advisor - I have served on the committee of
technical advisors assisting USPSA Headquarters with computer hardware,
software and service evaluations.
