Call me to talk about

Lighting Products & Systems

As a co-founder of a Dynamic energy efficient lighting company, I oversaw the end to end operations of our business. If you have questions about anything from the availability of government funding for lighting projects, to overseas manufacturing and logistics, I have real world knowledge and experience to share.

Start Up Culture & Management

As the co-founder of EcoTech Light & Energy, I was a key member of the leadership team responsible for orchestrating the formation and operation of a dynamic joint venture between my company, and Jasper Engines & Transmissions (60+ year old national brand).

Overseas Manufacturing and Logistics

Manufacturing overseas can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be. My companies have manufactured products domestically and overseas. With a product portfolio of over 1000 different SKU's, I can help you properly identify the best course of action for the manufacturing of your product, and assist you in your search for a credible Asian manufacturer. My experience lies mostly in China.

Change & Transition Management

Merging previously unrelated teams together, introducing a new product, and transitioning software packages are all excellent examples of choke points during a business transition. My company went from being a 3 man shop to being affiliated with a large national brand in a three month period. With that experience, I can provide insight into managing the specific stress points that come with a difficult circumstance such as these.

Commercial and Residential Lease Terms

I am licensed to practice within the state of Florida, and can provide very general, or specific review of various commercial and residential lease terms and conditions.

Mr. Brooks also knows how to stay focused on what is important. His calm demeanor is the stability in a work place that frequently experiences highs and lows. He does not panic in an emergency situation and has been incredibly valuable in both resolving issues and setting up systems to prevent problems.

Anyone considering hiring Mr. Brooks is looking at an incredibly valuable employee, manager, and leader. The unique skill set he has gained from being an entrepreneur coupled with his sharp mind makes him a great asset to any company.

Rich birthed the idea of starting Jasper-EcoTech Energy and played a critical role in establishing corporate systems and procedures. He has a superior skill set in operations and entrepreneurship.

I've worked with Rich directly over the past three years and his leadership skills are off the charts. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I know he will continue to be successful wherever he works!

Rich was a dedicated, hard working manager of all our operations at Jasper-EcoTech - and even worked beyond in other areas to cover our limited bandwidth, such as marketing and new product development.

He has the ability to focus on tasks for long periods of time to just "get the job done" especially when it comes to reviewing legal documents or accounting numbers. His attention to detail, especially with numbers, was essential in our attempts to keep a multi-location, large inventory on target.

Rich will be successful in any company he works with in the future, especially if he can focus on legal issues. He has a keen eye for it, and a great memory of even the more minor classes he took in law school. His calm demeanor is a great counterbalance to the more excitable personalities in our office, especially in times of crisis.

I am proud to have been able to work with him for so long, and I expect our professional and personal relationships will continue beyond Jasper-EcoTech.
