Stephen D. Peck

Mr. Peck has had a distinguished career incorporating both financial and administrative positions. His most rewarding accomplishments were performed while working for Phillips Publishing International as executive vice president and chief financial officer, where he was instrumental in helping to grow this organization from $12 million in sales to over $200 million in just ten years while simultaneously increasing profits over 15 times. He was responsible for not only the finance and accounting functions but also with customer service, order processing and the printing and mailing division.

Mr. Peck is now teamed with one of Washington's leading businessmen where he is investing in small start-up companies, which require not only capital but also management direction.
