Thelma Washington



Biltmore Who's Who Selects Thelma Washington as this week's Honored Member of the Executive and Professional Registry for 2009.

Thelma Washington, a manager for One Hour Martinizing, has been selected as an Honored Member of the Biltmore Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. Washington has just written and released a book titled, I Only Want To See Your Eyes. It went to print this past October, 2008.

Washington was inspired after a family member of hers tried to seduce her mind into believing he was in love with her for personal gain. As an everyday working mom "trying to walk the straight and narrow," she was suddenly caught up in a wicked storm that would lead her to investigate both his mind and motive.

In the book, she said, "I feed into his mind to see where it could lead. Finding myself caught up and feeling deeply in love with a voice, a voice so powerful that it leads me to want to teach him a lesson he’ll never forget."

Published by Author House in Bloomington, Indiana, her book can be ordered through any Barnes and Noble bookstore, through http://www.authorhouse.com or through http://www.Amazon.com. The book is printed on an on-demand basis only.

Richard M. Ruggiero

Biltmore Who's Who Selects Richard M. Ruggiero as this week's Honored Member of the Executive and Professional Registry for 2009.

Richard M. Ruggiero, project manager for CDI Corporation, has been selected as an Honored Member of the Biltmore Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. The selection recognizes Richard M. Ruggiero's commitment to excellence in the Information Technology industry.

After making his way through college, he began a fifteen year-long venture with GE Aerospace (later known as Lockheed Martin), where he held a number of different positions, including quality assurance for hardware and software, program control, systems engineer and product control. Ruggiero's next stint lasted another seven years with The Vanguard Group, a financial company where he lead their project management office. From there, Ruggiero settled in with CDI Corporation, where he has worked as a project manager for the last three and a half years.

Ruggiero's objective to continue working in his field is still much desired. He would, however, like to someday branch out into the healthcare or construction field. "In the healthcare industry I could help with increasing efficiencies regarding workflow, benefiting patient experiences. In construction, I could leverage my project management experience in planning and management, while at the same time being able to work outdoors," he said. Still though, he is the first to admit that his biggest inspiration remains to be his family. "The need to take care of my family is my number one motivation. I want to be sure that my children are not limited when choosing colleges. Having choices is important to me."

Mr. Ruggiero received his BS in Computer Science from Drexel University, followed by a MS in Organizational Dynamics from the University of Pennsylvania and is a certified project management professional. He is a member of the Project Management Institute and donates to the Debora Heart and Lung Hospital in Brown Mills, New Jersey. In his spare time, Ruggiero enjoys the arts, reading, gardening, walking and traveling.

David J. Clark, manager for Wal-Mart Stores in Durham, North Carolina, has been selected as an Honored Member of the Biltmore Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. The selection recognizes David J. Clark's commitment to excellence in the retail industry.

David J. Clark has been working for Wal-Mart for the past 14 years, beginning in 1995when he was 16 years old. He was later promoted to a manager position in 2003, where he began to dedicate more of his time and efforts to team leadership. Helping to run a multi-million dollar business is no easy task, therefore good budgeting skills, properly staffing the store and working the sales floor are extremely important. According to Clark, the most important part of his day is teaching and training assistant managers. Being fortunate enough to work for some really good store managers and assistant managers has given him the experience he needs to climb the ladder and move up in the company. He also said that working with people on a "large scale" and getting to meet new people everyday truly inspires him to be successful.

Mr. Clark hopes to run his own store in the next few years, hoping that all the training and time he has put into the business will soon pay off. "There are no limits with my company. It seems like the more I learn and grow with Wal-Mart, the more I want to do," he said.

Mr. Clark was awarded with an Assistant Manager of the Month Award for his district in December, 2004 and has been written up numerous times in Wal-Mart World for his successes. In his spare time, David attends his local church and enjoys golf, basketball, jogging and exercising.
