Other previous executive posts have included Controller of Lucerne Medical Center, Controller and Director of Financial Planning of Parrish and Director of Corporate Accounting for Fawcett Memorial Hospital in Port Charlotte, Florida. He began his career working as a Senior Audit Accountant for Ernst & Young after graduating from the University of Central Florida with B.S.B.A. and M.S. degrees in Accounting.

Upon commencement of his employment, Mr. Skeldon will receive an annual salary of $250,000 and receive an additional annual bonus of $25,000 per year for each completed year of employment. Further, he will be granted a total of 150,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with a 3-year vesting schedule. Up to 50,000 shares per year are eligible to vest based on annual revenue and EBITDA benchmarks agreed upon by Mr. Skeldon and the Company.
