MEET THE FLEETFOOT TEAM

Gary Brose, 56, is the owner of Fleetfoot and is General Manager. Gary has been in the delivery business for 35 years, including 5 years with FedEx and 26+ years as the President and owner of Fleetfoot. In 1998, Gary sold Fleetfoot to a public company but bought the company back in 2001 when the public company faltered. The new entity formed to buy Fleetfoot back, is known as US Dispatch Corp. USDC provides dispatch and back-office services to four different companies, including Fleetfoot. He is the founder of the Washington State Courier Association (1990) and served as the Chairman of the Mayor's Small Business Task Force in '95 and '96. Gary is a big baseball fan and plays wherever he can do the least damage on the Fleetfoot softball team. His teammates call him "The Bat" (and then they laugh) due to his prodigious blasts that sometimes get all the way out of the infield.

Tom Ernest is the Accounting Manager for Fleetfoot. He started with the company as a customer service agent and dispatcher in January 2000. Tom manages the accounts receivable and all of the billing functions. Tom also functions as Gary's favorite scapegoat and gets to take the blame for everything that goes wrong including the weather or hitting slumps by Mariner players.

Alexx Roberts is US Dispatch's Vice President of Operations. He manages multiple Supervisors and Managers for Fleetfoot as well as our other divisions, Runway Express Delivery and US Dispatch Route Services. Over 65 couriers report to him and he manages to keep them all in line. Alex started as a moped rider for Fleetfoot shortly before the first Ice Age in December '86. He drove over 100,000 miles for the company as a car driver, Safety Manager and Road Manager. He sings in a Blues band and dresses better than Gary every day of the week.

Shaun Martindale joined Fleetfoot in 1990 as a delivery driver. He was later promoted to Dispatcher and Office Manager. As the company changed, Shaun's talents were needed in other areas and he now serves as the Warehouse Manager and Traffic Manager for Fleetfoot's Sister Company, Logistics Northwest. Shaun coordinates and supervises all the large freight deliveries nationwide and internationally for the Freight Forwarding company. For more information on that service, visit www.logisticsnorthwest.com. Shaun enjoys watching the Sonics and other sporting events. He also plays Centerfield on the Fleetfoot softball team and enjoys making fun of Gary's meager athletic abilities.

Heather Willott is our Customer Service Manager. Heather rose through the ranks and in the process learned how to do just about every task there is in our dispatch office. Customers with special requests or unusual problem deliveries will find that Heather takes it all in stride and makes sure everything gets done as it should. Heather is a pleasant and easy-going person and she helps all the other managers stay focused on the customer, but if we ever get out of line, well, we don't want to go there……

Dave Burn is our Personnel Manager. Dave is the first Personnel Manager that the company has ever had. In 2006, we added many more employees and Independent Contractors and surpassed the 100 mark. As the company gets larger, a full-time Human Resources person was needed. After an extensive search project for HR talent outside the company, it was agreed that the best candidate was already here, working for us as a Lead Courier. Dave has previous experience in HR and as a counselor, but mostly Gary hired him because he looks so wise. I mean, look at that face. Its like a cross between Santa Claus and Ernest Hemingway! How could we go wrong!

John Jankowski, also known as JJ, is our 24/7 Dispatch and Road Manager. John manages all dispatch operations during the evening hours after 7pm until our morning ops begin again at 7:30 am. He also manages the dispatch ops throughout the 48 hours of the weekends and on all holidays. JJ is also responsible for staffing and managing the Road Crew during those hours. JJ has a ton of experience in the industry, having worked as a courier, Airport Ops Manager and even a long haul driver. JJ is a big Seahawk and football fan in general and he takes far too much glee in kicking Gary's ass in the Company football pool!
