Brad Baker - Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Baker has distinguished himself as a leader, manager, and strategist who has successfully guided several companies through explosive growth.

Mr. Baker began his business career by founding a chain of retail computer stores that became the premier Apple and IBM dealer in Southwest Florida. With annual sales of three million dollars, the four-store chain was successfully sold. Mr. Baker's next project was Tech:Time, a computer peripheral company he took public (NASDAQ:TTME). Under his leadership the company remained profitable while sales skyrocketed to $32 million. Building on his technological background and expertise, Baker has consulted with Bell & Howell and Hewlett Packard on ink-jet printer design, as well as the US Coast Guard and several other Fortune 500 companies on solid-state equipment design.

The Young Entrepreneurs Organization named Brad Baker one of the 100 top entrepreneurs in the United States. The Florida Business Journal selected his company, Tech.Time, Inc. as one of the ten outstanding publicly held companies in Florida. Money magazine, Venture, and Nation's Business have recognized his accomplishments nationally, and he was identified by Florida Trend magazine, a leading business publication in Florida, as a "Floridian to Watch in the Next 10 Years." In November 1995, Mr. Baker founded NetLine Communications, a statewide Internet provider. At NetLine Communications he implemented one of the states first frame relay networks to provide Internet Access throughout Florida. In July 1996, Comcast Cable ("Comcast") acquired Netline Communications. As part of the purchase agreement, Mr. Baker agreed to become a General Manager for Comcast, and he was one of the leaders of Comcast Cable's cable modem rollout with @home.com. Mr. Baker was soon promoted to Director of Business Development for Comcast On-line, where he was responsible for strategic planning in the launch of Comcast Cable's Internet Division.

In 1997, Mr. Baker left Comcast to become the General Partner of several commercial and residential real estate partnerships, and to operate a construction and management company that developed over $20 million in affordable housing tax credit properties. Due to his success in this venture, in October 1999, Florida Governor Jeb Bush appointed Mr. Baker to become Executive Director of the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, a public/private state corporation responsible for granting almost $1 billion in government grants to promote affordable housing. While there he was responsible for millions of dollars in savings as he made the government agency more efficient. Florida Trend magazine profiled Mr. Baker as their February 2000 cover story, where he appeared with an oversized broom in his hands, in an article called "Clean Sweep" detailing the steps he was taking to clean up the agency.

He received a presidential appointment to serve as one of the youngest White House Fellows ever selected, where he worked as a Special Assistant for the Treasury Secretary. President George Bush established the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"), a governmental entity designed to save, restructure and reorganize the entire thrift banking industry. President Bush appointed Brad Baker as one of four individuals to serve on its Executive Board. Mr. Baker was appointed to serve as the Corporate Secretary of the RTC and at various periods during his association served as Acting Executive Secretary of the United States Treasury.

Mr. Baker was instrumental in creating the RTC's organizational structure, hiring hundreds of employees and creating and integrating computer systems to coordinate nationally the multiple tasks necessary to execute the more than $400 Billion program. Mr. Baker's colleagues on the four-man panel included Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Nicolas Brady, former Secretary of the Treasury and Jack Kemp, who at the time was Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

In March 2001, Mr. Baker joined Sterling Financial, Inc. as head of their online division venture capital company. That company was tasked with developing an online marketplace for private placements. While at Sterling, he helped guide the company through explosive growth from a few offices to over 60 with over $30 million in sales. For several years he served on the Board of DOBI Medical, Inc.
