Management Team

The company founders, George Spitzer and Sam Alexander, have assembled a compatible team of six executives with extensive industry expertise spanning more than 250 years.

Sam was President of Potomac Federal Corporation in Washington D.C. (successor to Command Financial Corporation) prior to joining the Board of Directors and workout management team of Potter Instrument, a former American Stock Exchange Company with 12,000 public shareholders. In 1978, he served as CEO, President and operating trustee of Potter during a Chapter XI bankruptcy workout where $30 million in bank debt was settled for 30 cents on the dollar. Other than John Potter the founder, there were no public shareholder lawsuits against the company.

He then formed a direct marketing and entertainment product development-consulting firm, George Spitzer & Associates, Inc., which specialized in implementation of its recommendations. As a principal in the development of precursors to BHIF Relocation Group and its subsidiaries, George launched seven proprietary websites: BuyersResource.com, ConsumerCompanion.com, fisbos.com, FinderHome.com, cprop.com, Nebbadoon.com, and BHIFgroup.com.

Michael has more than twenty years experience in the strategic and tactical development and integration of technical organizations and infrastructure. With a three-person team, Michael conceived, designed, and implemented the first commercial frame-relay network on behalf of the world’s leading data telecommunications provider.

As the first telecommunications scientist to apply ATM network technology to traditional private-line networks, Michael revolutionized the revenue generating potential of existing provider infrastructures.
