Short company description:
We are a service disabled, veteran owned small business providing services primarily to the US Navy. We take old sailors and put them on the podium in a Navy schoolhouse where they teach young sailors how to use their weapon systems and sensors so they can grow to be old sailors
What makes you unique?
Both the Emerald Island and Rainbow Club are successful local casinos in the Water Street District in Henderson. Both casinos maintain the philosophy of creating a family culture for all guests and staff members and providing unparalleled dining options and entertainment. The casinos operate under the unique business strategy of offering guests food in lieu of cash for prizes to gaming wins. The food credit can then be redeemed at the casinos or at other restaurants in the community including Chef Flemming’s Bakery, Lovelady Brewing Company, Water Street Pizzeria, Public Works Coffee Bar and Juan’s Flaming Fajitas Cantina, and World of Scoopz, all located in the Water Street District.
Tell me a time you failed forward and what you learned from the experience
We made a few business decisions early on that caused significant financial challenges. We met the challenge, met the debt, enhanced our company reputation and thrived as a result.
What are your biggest obstacles and barriers to success?
Working with the federal government is a challenge.
What is the proudest moment of your leadership career?
My leadership career pre-dates my ownership of Orion Solutions. I am a retired Navy Captain and I was the former Commanding officer of USS Hue City. The continued success of the officers and crew of that ship are my legacy. Many now work for me here at Orion Solutions. That they would give me that much trust is a humbling experience.
