| ITEM 5.02 | Election of Director. |
On August 19, 2009, Vista International Technologies, Inc.’s Board of Directors voted to appoint a third member to the board. This vacancy occurred after the removal of a board member, Johan C. Smith. The Board of Directors has appointed Thomas P. Pfisterer as its third member.
Mr. Pfisterer completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Cincinnati (attending on a Division I Baseball scholarship), earning a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Dietetics (Magna Cum Laude) in 1983. He completed his graduate studies, earning a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Empire State College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., in 2003.
Thomas Pfisterer is a co-founder and the President/Chief Executive Officer of Aquarius Energy Systems, Inc. located in New Hartford, N.Y. Mr. Pfisterer has a strong track record as a successful business developer. Aquarius Energy Systems (incorporated in 2008), a developing start-up “Green Energy” company, is enjoying solid initial growth in establishing a presence in the green energy space in Central New York.
Mr. Pfisterer currently holds the position of Director of School Food Services for the Oneida County B.O.C.E.S. (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) in New Hartford, N.Y. During his 19 years in this position, Pfisterer has taken this program as a pioneer effort from a financially-strapped one-school operation to an 11-School District enterprise encompassing 40 schools in the Central N.Y. region. His operating budget has grown from $88,000 in 1989, to over $4.65 million in 2008. The total number of program employees has grown from 11 to 179 during this period. This unique concept of consolidation in School Food Services, which Mr. Pfisterer developed in response to the downward economic climate of this industry, has since been modeled on a smaller scale in several other counties in New York State.
Prior to this position, in 1987, Mr. Pfisterer built and established the Palm Springs Adventure Golf World in Marcy, N.Y., which was a new concept in the recreational golf market. He sold his business interest in 1989, and the venture has continued to thrive for the past 19 years.
Mr. Pfisterer is also the Head Baseball Coach at Clinton Central High School in Clinton, N.Y.
