USURF AMERICA APPOINTS NEW BOARD MEMBER
PROVEN TEAM BUILDER ADDED TO MANAGEMENT TEAM
DENVER, March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Usurf America, Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: USUR), a leading provider of voice, video and high-speed
broadband communications services, announced today that it has added Jeff Fiebig
to its Board of Directors.
"Jeff's addition is just another step in the restructuring of the Company
in its plan for growth and profitability," said Dave Weisman, U's chairman. "We
are extremely pleased to have someone of this caliber with such versatility on
our management team. Jeff has been an asset to Sovereign and will be an
outstanding leader to the combined companies as we implement our strategic
business model."
After a successful career with the Air Force, where he flew both in combat
and with the Thunderbird aerial demonstration team, Fiebig now brings a wealth
of practical, hands-on experience to his position at Usurf. He is currently the
VP of Sovereign Companies which was recently acquired by Usurf. Over the course
of his military and professional career, Fiebig has been charged with managing
large numbers of geographically dispersed individuals. This includes managing
the largest fighter plane group at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz., consisting of six
Squadrons and over 500 personnel while dividing his time as an instructor and
evaluator for United Airlines.
Fiebig's experience and management style prompted Sovereign to invite him
to join their management team as VP, where he currently manages 10 projects in
three states. In addition, Fiebig currently serves as a Colonel in the Air Force
Reserves and has recently been selected for promotion to Brigadier General.
"In both the private and government sectors, I pride myself on my
leadership abilities," said Fiebig. "I look forward to working with other
members of the management team to deliver a positive impact on the future of
Usurf."
