Brite-Strike® Tactical Illumination Products, Inc. (PINKSHEETS:
BSTK) announced today that former Brigadier General Ronald J.
Johnson, (USMC Ret.) has been appointed as Chief Operating Officer
for the company.
"We are very pleased to have Ron Johnson take on the role of
COO, reporting directly to me," said Glenn Bushee, President of
Brite-Strike. "Ron has been one of the true leaders in the US
military, with over 34 years of service in the Marines. He has
contacts around the world, including extensive experience in the
Middle East, which is a targeted growth area for our company. Ron's
last posting before retiring in January was as the Director of
Operations at the Marine Corps Headquarters in the Pentagon, which
makes him more than uniquely qualified to run the day to day
operations of BSTI," said Mr. Bushee.
"As a highly decorated combat Marine, Ron has the respect of the
'warrior community' worldwide. The fact that he also has the
operational experience running the Marine Corp. with flawless
precision, will have critical impact as our business grows," said
Mr. Bushee.
"I'm proud that Ron, who grew up in Duxbury, MA, and has come
back home after 34 years of dedicated service, most of which was
overseas in combat theaters, has decided to help grow BSTI into an
internationally recognized corporation with worldwide connections,"
said Mr. Bushee. "It is a true testimonial to his commitment to
Brite-Strike, and his brothers in the military, to ensure that they
have the best and most innovative tactical lights possible."
Ron will continue to serve as a BSTI Board Member as well as
COO.
"It is quite amazing for a company the size of BSTI to have two
outside board members the stature of General Johnson, and Mr. Jon
Goodrich (President MACE), so I could not be more pleased," stated
Mr. Bushee.
