Experience
December 1967 to June 1969
Out of college, I began my career in our industry by becoming the Display Director for Barker Bros. Fine Furntiture. I went from being an assitant to director in 3 months through both luck and hard work. I used my basic skills and got them well honed to become a professional in the industry.
June 1969 to August 1983
Along with my Father, Ed Kelly, founded Rax Unlimited, a metal manufacturing firm in South Gate California. Over the next 14 years produced metal store fixtures for Nordstroms, Broadway, Dillards, and many other stores no longer in existance. Started with 3 people and built to a team of 102 people in the last year.
August 1983 to September 2005
Founded the Sequoia Group which specialized in Shopping Center interiors. Our firm designed, built and installed carts, kiosk, directories, interactive fixutres, furniture, seasonal trim and custom theme based items for many centers around the world. We did work for Mall of America, Ceaser's Shops, and most every mall through out the United States. Our work won many awards and we became known for being problem solvers.
February 2008 to June 2009
Currently I specialize in design and providing any special interior components for all forms of commerical interiors. It is the cumulative result of 42 years of my design life.
