Bio
Mr. Smith started his professional career at Martin Marietta Orlando Aerospace Corporation (Now Lockheed Martin) in March of 1978 as an Associate Industrial Engineer. In 1982 he was honored in the top 100 employees in the Orlando Division, (top 1%) for outstanding performance. Later in the year he was assigned the Hercules Aerospace Corporation subcontract as an "off-site" Martin Marietta representative on the Pershing II Program. In 1984 Mr. Smith took over the responsibility of the Allied/Bendix subcontract on the Pershing II Program (contracts in excess of $63 million). He was promoted to Subcontract Manager in 1985 and was assigned to the Supersonic Low Altitude Target Program, (SLAT). In May of 1986 Mr. Smith was selected as Subcontract Manager of the month for his negotiation efforts with four major aircraft/aerospace companies. In August, 1986, Mr. Smith transferred to a multi-national program known as the Multiple Launch Rocket System - Terminally Guided Weapon Program, (MLRS-TGW) and was directly responsible for managing the only United States subcontractor (TRW & Hughes Aircraft). Mr. Smith resigned from Martin Marietta in April 1987 to actively pursue his brokerage/investing interest in commercial real estate. His professional experience during these 9 years at Martin Marietta Orlando Aerospace and his 25 years experience in owning and operating his own apartments has been invaluable in providing solutions for both buyers and sellers of multifamily housing.
