Environmental Experience
Between 1990 and 1998 Mr. King worked for the DuPont Company directing environmental projects in Washington, Oregon, Alaska and British Columbia, Canada.

In completing these projects, Mr. King has developed or managed a team of resources and associates with experience ranging from environmental sciences to master-planned community and golf-course construction (see Brownfields).
One such environmental project managed by Mr. King involved the environmental clean-up of an industrial site south of Tacoma, Washington. Once the contaminants were removed, Mr. King oversaw the construction of a golf course followed by the construction of quality homes in the immediate area. The golf course was completed in 2006 and won the "Top Ten New Courses in the World" Award for 2007, given by Travel and Leisure Golf Magazine (See Announcement).
Mr. King is the President and Senior Program Manager for I2M Associates, LLC, with offices in Seattle and Houston.
