He is an honest, forthright, articulate and knowledgeable speaker who is dedicated to improving our economy. His long experience can be ably applied to new concepts and trends. He is a most valuable resource." and "I first met Wayne when I was the Executive Director of MCEDD, when he was invited to Oregon to advise us on setting up an economic development professional association in Oregon. I believe he also provided some advice to MCEDD that was paid in part by some horseback rides from my horse ranch through a 2,000 acre ranch that reached State Forest lands. Our friendship was forged when I let him ride the young Tennessee Walking Horse stallion that I raised and was breaking, through the timber and up steep draws to Government Flats. Wayne somehow got me to ride a horse other than Suntar - he can still be very persuasive.
Wayne helped me obtain my next position with the Del Norte EDC and later recommended me to help set up the economic development program in Alameda County that has evolved into the East Bay EDA where I am still employed.
Wayne has been California's best and strongest economic development voice and leader during the 25+ years I have known him and he is my number one choice and recommendation on anything related to economic development in California, no matter how difficult the people or the issue."
