3. JUNE 2011 Loudoun Business | PAGE 3
By Lindsey Brookbank, Contributing Writer
An international distributor has picked
Loudoun County as its U.S. base.
Mil-tek USA, an international recy-
cling and waste solutions company, has
set up its national headquarters in 14,000
square feet of office and distribution space
in Ashburn. The facility is located in the
Beaumeade Corporate Park, off Loudoun
County Parkway.
The firm currently employs five, but
Mil-tek USA President and CEO Bryan
Wingfield projects employment will reach
200 by the end of 2014.
As to why Loudoun was chosen as Mil-
tek’s U.S. headquarters, Wingfield pointed
to “the place and the people.”
“Loudoun is a leading community for
businesses for many reasons, including
those that attract a quality workforce, excel-
lent schools, great retail and recreational
amenities and a broad array of housing
choices,” he stated. “The professionals with
the Department of Economic Development
were instrumental in our location selec-
tion. From the beginning of the process to
permitting to occupancy, they were pro-
actively helpful and professional. Finally,
the business community is supportive and
interested in sustainability, which is key to
our business.”
Business Development Officer Buddy
Rizer stated he was “pleased to see
Loudoun’s reputation as a location for inter-
national business continuing to reap the
reward of having high-caliber companies
such as Mil-tek USA choose Loudoun for
their U.S. headquarters.”
Currently, Loudoun is home to 76 inter-
national firms.
The company got the royal treat-
ment June 7, when one of its countrymen,
H.R.H. Prince Henrik, the Prince Consort of
Denmark, paid a visit.
Prince Henrik was on hand to witness
the launch of the company’s polystyrene
reducer, the EPS 1800 which started in
Denmark.
Polystyrene is a widely used recyclable
plastic material, with a consistency simi-
lar to Styrofoam. It is commonly used in
products such as packing and insulation
materials, and foam drink cups. Polystyrene
takes up “excessive amounts of space in
the waste stream and doesn’t break down
in landfills,” according to a Mil-tek press
release.
Mil-tek’s polystyrene reducer compacts
the material for recycling, reducing waste
costs by up to 80 percent. About 40 blocks
of polystyrene can be compressed in the
machine, forming a single medium-sized
rectangular block, which has a rock-like
texture.
Kristian Skannerup, the Mil-tek world-
wide owner and founder who is also Danish,
showed Prince Henrik how to use the
polystyrene reducer. Laughing, Skannerup
explained to Prince Henrik how to start
the machine, which required a mere lever
pull—Prince Henrik seemed amused at its
simplicity, chuckling.
Preceding the demonstration,
Skannerup spoke with a large audience and

Lovettsville will soon get the Inova
Hospital facility it so craved.
Town Mayor Elaine Walker and Inova
Loudoun Hospital executives confirmed
the forthcoming opening of a primary
care medical facility in mid-May following
weeks of speculation.
The news confirmed informal reports
that Inova had struck a deal with Fred
George and Anne DeCourcy George to
lease their building at Broad Way that for-
merly housed the Lovettsville Post Office.
That building was vacated after the Post
Office built a new facility across East Broad
Way last fall.
The mayor has been advocating for
medical services in town for well over a
decade. In a statement, Walker said, “Inova
Loudoun Hospital understands how impor-
tant equal access to medical services is for
the residents of western Loudoun County.
Inova made a promise and kept their prom-
ise.”
The promise to which the mayor
referred was Inova Loudoun Hospital’s
pledge, made through the Comprehensive
Plan for Healthcare of more than five years
ago, to bring medical services to town

How much must an airport prepare for
flights of the Airbus A380, a double-decker,
four-engined behemoth with an 87-yard
wingspan?
If the locale is Dulles Airport, the
answer is: not much.
The airport’s planners in 1962 took one
of the biggest passenger planes extant, the
Douglas DC-8, and extrapolated its dimen-
sions to what they predicted would be
those of future jets, Bill Lebegern, planning-
department manager with the Metropolitan
Washington Airports Authority, said.
Dulles was built with long runways
and amply spaced taxiways that meet or
exceed A380 requirements, he said.
“Dulles has been ready for this plane
for 50 years,” Lebegern told members of the
Committee for Dulles, during a luncheon
briefing last month at the Crowne Plaza
Hotel in Herndon. “It’s a pretty remarkable
airport to go with a remarkable plane.”
AirFranceinauguratedA380passenger
service between Dulles and Paris-Charles
de Gaulle Airport June 6. The airline will
load and disgorge passengers from the
large aircraft at Gates 20 and 22 on midfield
Concourse B, using a pair of jetways that
align at different heights on the aircraft.
Passengers deplaning from the upper deck
will walk down through switchback ramps
in a vestibule that cost about $2 million to
build, Lebegern said.
Each of Dulles’ four runways can
accommodate the A380. Although the tar-
mac has plenty of space for the aircraft,
Dulles officials will paint a special center-

A+ Dropouts
Liam Demmin, 15
Brendan Evans, 14
Erik Hagler, 14
Cheska Zaide, 13
One young local band has seen more
success in its first year and a half of its
formation than many see in a lifetime.
A+ Dropouts was formed in November
2009 by lead singer and guitarist Cheska
Zaide, using a name that is an oxymoron
to the high grades the band members
receive.
Although the band has had some
turnover in the last year, Cheska remains
the vocal powerhouse behind the group’s
sound and is its main songwriter. With
a self proclaimed “popular punk” sound,
A+ Dropouts is known for its high-energy
shows and has built a following across
state lines.
The band recently finished record-
ing its first album, but is still spending
some time on final tweaks in the studio.
A preview party of four tracks of the CD
was planned for early June and Rina Zaide,
Cheska’s mom, reports that the band’s
summer tour schedule is still in the pro-
cess of being put together.
Rounding out the talent for the band
are guitarist Erik Hagler; drummer Brendan
Evans; and bassist Liam Demmin. The four
all attend Loudoun County Public Schools.
Bryant Bays, 25
Area Forester
Virginia Department of Forestry
Bryant Bays has always been an out-
doorsy guy, so it’s no surprise his profes-
sional life finds him outside with nature
more often than not.
Bays is the VDF area forester for
Loudoun and Prince William counties,
and is a common sight at community and
government meetings, helping others to
understand the benefits and proper care of
trees.
The Cincinnati, OH, native studied for-
estry at Virginia Tech, after realizing that
a parks and recreation management major
wasn’t for him. When he interned for VDF,
he saw a natural fit.
“I always enjoyed being outdoors,” he
said. “I knew I didn’t want to sit in an office
all day.”
Luckily
for Bays, his
role as area
forester has
him out and
about often.
Daily tasks
range from
the infre-
quent wild-
fire assis-
tance and timber harvest inspection to
the more common tasks of public educa-
tion, awareness and instruction. He often
works with Loudoun County government
staff, the Piedmont Environmental Council,
the Leesburg Watershed Committee,
the Loudoun Soil & Water Conservation
District, the Extension Office and others
on community planting projects and other
initiatives to engage the community in the
health of their surrounding environment.
Developing incentive programs for HOAs
to plant more trees has also been another
project on which Bays has worked.
With three years at his job under his
belt, Bays hopes he can continue to bring
awareness to the services VDF provides as
the green consciousness of the surround-
ing community continues to grow.
Jonathan Brubaker, 29
Customer Solutions Manager
Best Buy
Jonathan Brubaker has the rare dis-
tinction of working with the same company
he started with as a part-time high school
employee.
Now, 11 years later, Brubaker man-
ages the entire sales floor operations of
the Sterling store and has been involved
with the grand
opening of sev-
eral other Best
Buys in the
community.
Brubaker
said he has
always enjoyed
the energy and
i n t e r a c t i o n
involved in the
retail industry.
“It’s constantly changing, there’s con-
stantly new people,” he said. “I made the
decision early on this is what I wanted to
do for a living.”
Brubaker said he plans on staying
with Best Buy throughout his career and
hopes to one day be the general manager
of a store and perhaps move to Minnesota
to work on the company’s corporate retail
team.
Brubaker is also very active with the
local community, and says he goes to any
and every small business event he can get
into.
“I want to help [local businesses]
understand we’re here to help them.
Some people see us as this huge corpo-
rate machine but on an individual store
basis we’re residents and local people,”
the Leesburg resident said. “We want to be
able to help and support them as much as
possible.”
In addition to participating in a slew of
local charitable events, Brubaker said he
takes any opportunity he gets to partner
with local schools.

Loudoun's Young Professionals Climbing The Ladder
In our third year identifying some of the up-and-coming movers and shakers in Loudoun County, we received dozens of nominations for young profes-
sionals across all industries. While some have been blazing their trails since the single digits, others have recently found their passions and begun to excel.
A common bond that links them all is their unwavering desire to contribute to the community in a positive way; an unbridled passion for what they do; and
the near guarantee that these men and women will be the talk of the town in the coming years.

range of subjects grew with it.
Carr worked as a beverage supervisor
at Dover Downs Casino out of college but
soon felt the call home to Virginia and took
a job with a small event planning company.
After two successful years there, and a
wealth of experience gained, Carr heard
about Salamander, located near her home-
town. Although she initially applied as an
event planner, a position that was not open
at the time, Salamander representatives
would call
her back five
months later
and instead
offer her a
job as execu-
tive assistant
to corpo-
rate presi-
dent Prem
Devadas, a
position she
would hold for five years.
“As I continued on with the basic
duties of being his assistant and helping
out the executive staff I started adding on
new roles,” she said.
These would include launching
Salamander’s luxury gift shop, Salamander
Touch; managing the company’s human
resources offices in Virginia; and starting
the company’s eCommerce website, Shop
Salamander. As if that weren’t enough,
now Carr also serves as general manager
of Market Salamander.
“Salamander Hospitality has been a
great place to work, a great family; they
encourage you to grow and learn and gain
more experience,” she said.
Carr is equally gracious about Devadas
and Salamander Hospitality CEO Sheila C.
Johnson, both of whom she says have been
fully supportive of her growth in the busi-
ness world.
The next challenge on tap for Carr is
self-imposed. With a desire to begin dab-
bling in event planning again, coupled with
entertainment production, she is hoping
to soon be able to grow that sector of
Salamander’s business.
“I’m absorbing all the experience I can
when I can,” she said. “I like to call myself
the Mad Hatter—I’m always doing a lot of
very different things.”
John Choi, 28
Master
U.S. Tae Kwon Do Academy
For John Choi, Tae Kwon Do isn’t
merely a hobby, but rather a lifestyle.
Choi’s journey with the art began when he
was two years old, when his father Eung
Gil Choi introduced him to the sport. Fast-
forward 26 years and Choi is now Master
of the United States Tae Kwon Do Martial
Arts Academy in Leesburg, while his father
is Grand Master.
Choi attributes his success to his
father, who he said taught him the value of
life through Tae Kwon Do.
“I am who I am because of him,” Choi
said about his father. “He pretty much
paved the way for me. At 15 years old, he
sent me to Korea every summer on my
break from school, and I would train with
Olympic athletes. I learned from the best of
the best and would come back to teach our
students to become the best.”
At the same age, Choi ceased serving
as a competitive student in Tae Kwon Do
and began coaching—a decision that has
been difficult but rewarding.
“When you are 15, you are thinking
coaching has got to be easier than actually
competing, but it has definitely been much
harder,” he said. “For me to help students
achieve their goals and help them over-
come fear to not only compete locally or
in the state, but also internationally and
at the national
l e v e l — y o u
can’t top that.
When you can
help others
achieve their
goals it’s just
priceless.”
Choi has
brought what
he has learned
from his father and Olympic trainees to his
own teaching. At age 15, he was the young-
est person to train and create a Tae Kwon
Do competition team that participated in
a national championship in Virginia at the
time. The team’s name is C-Crew, which
still exists today.
Despite his success, Choi said he truly
enjoys just working with people, ranging
from two-year-olds to 60-year-olds and up.
“Every day presents a new goal, a new chal-
lenge,” he said. “You can’t teach everyone
the same way, so when the students come
in for class, it is always a fresh challenge
for me.”
But that doesn’t mean his competitive
instincts have run dry. In the future, he
said he hopes to help a student represent
Leesburg in the Olympics for Tae Kwon Do
and win a gold medal. In the meantime,
however, Choi continues to train students,
help run the business and see his father as
an inspiration.
“What he does now at his age, and for
him to do what he has done for so long—to
have that drive and energy to keep on—is
just amazing to me,” he said about his
father. “If I can be half as good as him, I will
be successful.”
Lauren Riddlough Clement, 28
Interior Decorator/Owner
Decorating Den Interiors
To the untrained eye, it would seem
that Lauren Clement has followed in
her family’s footsteps. Both her mother
and father have been in business with
Decorating Den since 1984; however, she
initially was planning to go in an entirely
different direction. When she was younger,
Clement was not involved at all in her
parents' business and went on to pursue
a graduate degree in clinical psychology.
“During grad school I had a change of heart
and realized that what I wanted to do was
interior design,” Clement said.
In March 2006, Clement purchased a
franchise from Decorating Dens Interior,
an international interior design company.
She started and continues to run her busi-
ness out of the basement of her house.
Every room
of the base-
ment is fully
f u r n i s h e d
and serves a
purpose for
her company.
“Having the
company be
home-based
allows for
low over-
head,” Clement said. More important than
the costs was the flexibility it allows her.
“Working at home allows me to be avail-
able to my clients and family around the
clock.” As a mother of one with another
on the way, the location of her business
allows Clement to cater to whatever issue
is most pressing at the time.
Realizing she isn’t the only person
who would rather have things done at
home, Clement does all of her business
at her customers’ places. “We bring it all
to them, which makes it really efficient,”
Clement said. She drives her white van
with a big logo of her company on both
sides, filled with presentation boards, to
her customers’ homes. Clement offers a
complimentary initial consultation and
helps her clients design their homes the
way they want within their budget.
Recently Clement returned from
Phoenix, AZ, where Decorating Den’s
annual Dream Room contest took place.
She walked away with first place in both
the “Family Room” and “Children’s Room”
categories and received second place for
the teen study room she designed in the
“Miscellaneous” category, which includes
“something that is not a main living space
in the home,” according to Clement.
Her company is continuing to expand
throughout the Loudoun County region.
Through her strong rapport with clients,
Clement has enjoyed many return custom-
ers when they need other rooms designed
as well as having gained new contacts
through word of mouth. “Clients become
long-term clients and great friends,”
Clement said. “When I had Finley [her
daughter] many of my previous clients
wanted to see her and were there for me.”
Along with advancing her own compa-
ny, Clement is helping others who are pur-
suing a career in interior design through
different avenues such as her blog. To fol-

Chazz Clevinger, 26
General Consultant
Patricia Phillips for Senate
Chazz Clevinger’s career is ever chang-
ing—after all, he is in the political field,
serving as a general consultant for Patricia
Phillips, a Republican running for State
Senate in the 33rd District.
The 26-year-old said he is constantly
on the go, juggling that position along
with a company in North Carolina called
Costal Political Strategies, which provides
consultants to various campaigns, that he
founded a few years ago.
Clevinger has provided his services,
including hiring polling firms and opposi-
tion researchers, to many candidates. But
he said no campaign is the same.
“I love the adventure of not knowing
what unique circumstances and problems
will arise,” he said. “There is no cookie cut-
ter approach
that can be
used. There
are experi-
ences that I
can take from
one situation
to another,
but I con-
stantly find
myself having
to learn and
evolve in each
situation.”
Campaigns have been familiar territo-
ry for Clevinger since he was a high school
student. At the time, he said there were
two attorneys in his hometown in North
Carolina who were running for Senate, and
he volunteered on the campaigns. “I got
bitten by the bug early,” he said. “And I
have liked campaigns every since then.”
However, Clevinger admits his job is
not always easy. “It is definitely a mixed
bag,” he said. “You win some, you lose
some. You have to know your market and
what kind of clients to go after. I enjoy it
and love doing it, but it can certainly be
stressful at times.”
It wasn’t until Clevinger landed a job
assisting in legislative and communication
research at Justice Fellowship, a Christian
public policy organization that advocates
criminal justice reform, that he moved to
Northern Virginia.
He said he decided to stay in the area
when he later found a position with Phillips
after his job at Justice Fellowship came to
an end. Working in Virginia, he said, will
help him expand his business’ clientele.
Clevinger’s future seems open-ended;
however he said he wants to continue
working in political consulting in some
capacity. “I may or may not go to law
school to get even more experience that

6. PAGE 6 | Loudoun Business JUNE 2011
Last month I shared my motivations
for becoming an active member of the
Loudoun County business community. In
that first column, I mentioned the three
areas that our county needs to continue to
focus on in order to become the best place
to live and work in America: education,
congestion and infrastructure. This month
I will address infrastructure and congestion
through the discussion of rail—a hot topic
in our region.
First, let’s rewind to the 1960s…
In the 1960s Singapore declared inde-
pendence from Great Britain, and later
separated from Malaysia to become its
own nation-state. As a newly independent
nation-state in 1965, Singapore faced many
hardships: overcrowding, poor living condi-
tions and a dramatic lack of infrastructure. A
collection of 63 islands, Singapore has very
few natural resources—other than its supe-
rior waterway access. It became clear that
Singapore would need to utilize its ports
to build its economy. Officials at the time
had the foresight to realize that economic
growth and prosperity was dependent on
increasing accessibility and infrastructure
within the nation-state. With the hope of
creating a hub
for commerce,
they invested
huge amounts of
money into infra-
structure proj-
ects, including
ports, airports,
roads and rail.
Today
Singapore is the
major interna-
tional transpor-
tation hub in Asia and is positioned along
many sea and air trade routes. It boasts the
world’s second busiest port and has the
fastest-growing economy in the world, with
GDP growth of 14.5 percent.
In the 1960s the Dulles Access Road
was built, connecting Dulles International
Airport with Washington, DC. As construc-
tion of the Dulles Toll Road began, the
government opted to leave the median of
the road open, reserving it for future rail
projects. Officials at the time had much
of the same foresight that the officials of
Singapore had; making a region prosperous
requires investment in infrastructure, to
assure easy access and promote economic
growth. Despite having a plan in place
nearly 50 years ago, rail to Loudoun is still
not complete.
The completion of rail to Loudoun now
shows the potential of being realized—
with courageous efforts by local, state and
federal elected officials. But like any com-
plex project, there have been bumps along
the way. Most recently was the decision
by the Metropolitan Washington Airports
Authority board to support the under-
ground station stop at Dulles International
Airport, despite the fact that the business
community, along with local and state offi-
cials, uniformly agreed that it would be
better to save $300 million with an above
ground station.
It’s my sincere hope that people can
come together and deal with what is a
very real fiscal issue, in a more interactive
and constructive way, enabling organiza-
tions that are helping to fund the project
have more say in the matter. I applaud
Congressman Wolf’s suggestion to recon-
stitute the MWAA board to more accurately
reflect the impact those decisions have on
Northern Virginia residents.
There is concern regarding rail devel-
opment costs affecting riders of the Dulles
Toll Road through increased tolls. While
Virginia does not have a legal obligation to
back the MWAA’s bonds for rail develop-
ment, it does have a moral obligation to
do so—which in some ways is stronger.
Because the state has a triple-A credit rat-
ing, it is able to raise money at a lower
cost than MWAA. Recently, the state raised
transportation bonds at the average cost of
about 4 percent. I looked at MWAA’s triple-
B credit rating, and I deduced that their
financing cost is in the range of 7 percent—
or a 75 percent higher cost than Virginia’s
interest costs. If the state decides to back
the MWAA rail development, the interest
would be lowered, which would translate
into lower tolls on the Dulles Toll Road.
Once we navigate these issues, and rail
makes it to Loudoun County, our region will
see wonderful results. For instance, rail will
have a significant impact on the economic
development prospects for the region, in
conjunction with the comprehensive plan
for development around the Rt. 28 Corridor.
These initiatives will concentrate devel-
opments, similar to Reston Town Center,
around rail and around the Rt. 28 Corridor.
The Rt. 28 Corridor welcomes new devel-
opment, with well-planned highway and
overpass infrastructure, which is funded
by businesses in the form of the Rt. 28 Tax
District.
Rail will have a positive impact on
reducing congestion in our region, which
is among the worst in the United States. As
it is now, all of our commuters are pushed
onto the roads—increasing commute times
and making it difficult to move freely within
the region. And not to be forgotten, rail
will have a positive impact on preserving
the rural west; with the primary economic
development focused around the Rt. 28
Corridor and rail stations in Loudoun, there
will be no need to expand development into
the pristine rural areas of western Loudoun
County.
In my opinion, the debate over whether
rail increases commerce has been settled
in Singapore. In August 2010, Singapore
announced a $44 billion expansion of its rail
system for its five million citizens. Today,
we in Loudoun have the opportunity to
achieve a similar vision, to connect Dulles
and Loudoun County to the rest of the
National Capital region—a vision 50 years
in the making.
While it’s important to keep our eye on
the pocketbook, it’s also important to be
constructive. We need to focus on achieving
the best outcome for everyone in our region
and follow through with rail to Loudoun—
creating a system that facilitates commerce
and improves the quality of life for all.

would lend itself to adding a lobbying com-
ponent to what I do,” he said, “because
there is only so far you can go in relations
and lobbying work without a law degree
these days.”
Creative 2
John Felts, 28
Shawn McGuinn, 27
Steph McGuinn, 28
Inthetwoyearssinceitsbirth,Creative
2 has seen some incredible growth.
John Felts had been running his own
Web design company since 2005 and friend
Shawn McGuinn, who at the time worked
on marketing and publicity for “America’s
Most Wanted,” admits it was his dream
at the time to have his own business and
control his own destiny.
“John had that and I was jealous,” he
jokes.
It was a perfect marriage between the
two, with McGuinn contributing his mar-
keting/PR acumen to Felts’ already robust
Web business. McGuinn’s wife, Steph,
would later join as brand director and the
three have been moving in lockstep, full
steam ahead ever since.
“It was a chance to take it to the next
level,” Felts said of the combined efforts of
the group.
In addition to the three full-time
employees, Creative 2 also boasts one part-
time employee, an intern and between two
and three dozen contractors. The com-
pany works with everyone from individu-
als and small businesses to large corpo-
rations, churches, nonprofits, politicians
and everything in between.
Although Shawn McGuinn said the
company’s cash cow continues to be
“anything to do with Web,” Creative 2 is
expanding its reach into all things market-
ing and the trio is also looking to soon
move their home-based business into an
Ashburn office space, with the possibility
of additional satellite offices in the future.
“The sky’s the limit,” Shawn McGuinn
said. “Are we going to be the next Google?
I hope so.”

District Managers

climb the ladder through Arbonne’s ranks.
The husband and wife team has been
selling Arbonne beauty and skincare prod-
ucts for several years now, and the duo
holds the title of district managers.
The two didn’t exactly stumble on to
the direct selling opportunity; it’s been
more of a “way of life” for Chris Gauldin,
his wife explained.
Chris Gauldin’s mother has risen
through the ranks of the company her-
self and now holds the title of regional
vice president. The couple saw firsthand
mom’s success in their 10-year-long rela-
tionship and soon aspired to do the same.
Although the pair also hold down full-
time jobs in addition to their work with
Arbonne, Amanda Gauldin said she hopes
Arbonne will one day become her full-time
job. With a personal love for the products
that have given a boost to her skin and
confidence, Amanda Gauldin said Arbonne
seems to attract a “quality kind of person,”
and she has been pleased with the other
representatives with whom she has met
and trained.
“I’ve seen firsthand that you can be
successful,” with Arbonne, she said.
Recently, the two have begun to
become further involved with the com-
munity. Amanda Gauldin has begun attend-
ing several Loudoun Young Professionals
mixers and helped organize the inaugural
Run Me Home 10K/5K/Fun Run benefiting
Loudoun County foster care.
Alicia Green, 24
Business Analyst
Middleburg Bank
“I welcome every opportunity to
learn.” This is Alicia Green’s mantra. While
she was in high school, Green worked at
Susan Brantley Salon and Spa where she
became a certified nail technician. In the
winter following her high school gradua-
tion, Green went into Middleburg Bank to
do some business for the salon she worked
at when one of the customer service repre-
sentatives seemed to realize her potential
and offered her a job that would strongly
influence her life.
At age 18, Green began working as a
teller at the company that continues to
coming to Leesburg

give her opportunities to be successful
as she can, Middleburg Bank. She proved
her worth to the company as a teller and
within a couple of years advanced to a
job as a customer service representative
at the Leesburg branch. She continued to
work there until June 1, when she officially
became the business analyst. The new posi-
tion allows
her to con-
stantly work
with num-
bers through
r e s e a r c h ,
data input
and chart
t r e n d i n g ,
which is an
aspect Green enjoys.
Since joining Middleburg Bank, Green
has begun to pursue her bachelor’s degree
in criminal justice at Strayer University’s
Loudoun campus. Despite the fact that
her current job has little to do with crimi-
nal justice, Green continues to expand
her knowledge. “I was pretty far along in
school and I do not quit anything I start,”
Green said.
Continuing to pursue her degree while
working hasn’t been the most difficult task
for Green. “I take a lot of night and online
classes, which allows me to manage work-
ing and school,” Green said. “A lot of adults
here have been in the same situation as me
and allow me flexibility when it comes to
school.” Green is close to completing her
degree, but does not intend to stop her
education there. “I plan on pursuing a MBA
after I graduate,” she said.
For most people going to school
and working a full-time job would be
overwhelming or at the very least, they
wouldn’t attempt to take on any additional
activities—this isn’t the case with Green.
When she is not working at her job or on
her academics, Green is doing volunteer
work for foundations like March of Dimes,
Relay For Life or Loudoun Interfaith Relief,
to name just a few.
Outside her normal work duties, she
helps train staff and works with banking
software user groups to help further other
employees' education within the company.
For all her hard work and dedication, she
has received several awards, especially
when it comes to training. On top of all
this, Green is also about to graduate from
a management development course.
Through eight years working for
Middleburg Bank, Green values all the
experiences she has had and plans to
have a long career with the company.
“They have supported me through school
and the steps of my career,” Green said.
“They have watched me go through the
stages and let me grow into adulthood.
From day one it’s been like a family
here.”
Rachel Harris, 7
Founder
Let’s Help Kids
Rachel Harris, a rising second grader
at South Riding’s Little River Elementary,
appears to have been bitten by the entre-
preneurial bug years ahead of many.
After announcing to her mother, Jen
Sterling, after school one day that she
wanted to be a “big boss” like both her par-
ents, Sterling inquired as to what exactly
young Rachel wanted to do.
Respomding that she wanted to “help
people,” Rachel soon decided the next criti-
cal piece of forming her business was com-
ing up with an acronym. The “Let’s Help
People” domain name was already taken,
so the two quickly decided that Let’s Help
Kids was a
good alterna-
tive.
Theyear-
and-a-half old
nonprofitwas
born almost
entirely out
R a c h e l ’ s
ideas and 100
percent of
all donations
benefit needy local children. The goal of
the nonprofit is to achieve Rachel’s dream:
giving toys to kids whose families can’t
afford them.
Rachel has been an active force in the
community, making presentations to indi-
viduals and groups on her nonprofit and
talking up the good it’s done. In addition
to providing needy children with birthday
presents and other gifts, Let’s Help Kids
has partnered with other local charitable
organizations to send disadvantaged chil-
dren to summer camp and provide other
individual gifts and/or experiences.
Sterling says her daughter is thrilled
with the growth of Let’s Help Kids, and
doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.
“She gives her business cards out to
everyone who will stand still long enough,”
her mom gushes.
David Horton, 26
Co-Founder
iAppTrust
To say David Horton took the road
less traveled may be a huge understate-
ment.
Now the co-founder of a quickly surg-
ing app company, Leesburg’s iAppTrust,
Horton didn’t exactly pick a traditional
path to find his success.
Horton began dabbling in computer
programming when he was five, produc-
ing websites when he was 10 and, by the
mature age of 14 had written his first 3,000-
4,000 lines of code. It was at that age that
he dropped out of high school, not finish-
ing the ninth grade.
He would work on Web technology on
his own, until he snagged a job as an intern
at 16. By starting on his career and passion
for technology early, “it gave me an inter-
esting insight. I was able to soak up like a
sponge all the stuff they don’t teach you in
school.”
H o r t o n
took a hiatus
from the tech
world when he
was 18 to try his
hand at being a
professional
musician. He
soon found out,
he jokes, there
was no money in that endeavor.
He would then settle down with fam-
ily and work as a consultant for compa-
nies across the nation. Last year, Horton
joined up with John McWilliams to launch
iAppTrust, which builds applications for
smartphones and debuted its first com-
pany-branded app earlier this year.
“We wanted to do something that was
going to set us up for the rest of our lives,”
Horton said of his company’s founding.
“We knew we wanted to do technology; we
knew we were good at it. We’re not good at
conforming to the status quo of what’s out
there now and there was a huge need for
someone that had some ideas to jump in
and start doing things beyond the norm.”
Horton calls iAppTrust “a 100-year
brand, like Gillette or Apple.”
“And that’s where we want to go….
everything that goes with it: all the charity
that Bill Gates does and Steve Jobs, start-
ing other businesses and having a heavy
hand in the community and charity and,
really, at one point I’d say I just want to
retire and play golf.”
Matt Lucas, 23
Solutions Consultant
TML
Matt Lucas likes to talk, but when it
comes to math, he isn’t as enthusiastic. So
after graduating from Ferrum College with
a major in business administration and a
minor in economics, he decided to enter
the marketing field, combining his busi-
ness and public speaking savvy.
But Lucas’ career path has taken some
twists and turns, eventually leading him to
become a solutions consultant for TML, a
Xerox company in Manassas that provides
its customers with business products and
service.
As a solutions consultant, Lucas, 23,
finds new customers and maintains cur-
rent ones by presenting them with equip-
ment, software and assistance. Lucas has
been working for TML since April.
Prior to that, he was living in Seattle,
WA, helping a friend build a franchise. And
before that, he worked at another mar-
keting company in Tysons Corner where
he sold products to businesses such as
Costco and Best Buy.
Lucas said his past experience has
made the transition to TML smooth. And
with the help of a senior representative
serving as his mentor, Lucas is staying on
track and developing as an employee. “As
a whole, we are in a growth stage,” he said
of TML. “It lets me grow with the company
as we move up to the next level.”
TML is filled with both young and more
experienced
employees,
according to
Lucas. The
hunger and
drive from
newer work-
ers, along
with the vast
knowledge
from older
employees,
makes for a “good combination,” he said.
Through his work with TML, Lucas has
become a member of the Loudoun County
Chamber of Commerce. As a Heritage High
School graduate, he is familiar with the
area and wants to stay involved. He said
he hopes to join a committee in the near
future.
Lucas, displaying his team-player atti-
tude, said he also wants to work his way
up at TML to a management role and high-
er. As the football team captain at Ferrum
and playing at Heritage as well, Lucas said
he always works with and helps others—a
quality that translates into the business
world.
“Getting everyone on the same page
as an organization is what I aspire to—
looking at the bigger picture and trying to
work my way up,” he said. “It’s about more
responsibility.”
Megan McKee, 22
Membership Director & Event Sales
Coordinator
Stoneleigh Golf & Country Club
Megan McKee is a people person, so
it’s no surprise that she is the membership
director and event sales coordinator at
Stoneleigh Golf & Country Club in Round
Hill, where she works with others every
day.
“I like that members come to have a
great time,” McKee said. “And I love being
able to give them a good experience. I like
to make people happy. I love making a
difference that
way.”
In fact,
McKee chose
to work at a
club because
of the rela-
tionships she
builds with its
customers. At
Continued On Next Page

hotels and restaurants, she usually never
sees them again. “You get to get involved
with their lives,” she said of working with
club members.
The membership side of McKee’s job
requires her to network, follow up on refer-
rals, recruit new members and handle all
membership responsibilities.
She also handles event sales by arrang-
ing parties, weddings and member affairs
such as golfing, while getting the word out
about what the club has to offer.
“I like the sales because every day is
different,” McKee said. “You get to meet
with people and talk with people all the
time, which is nice.”
Although young, the 22-year-old James
Madison University graduate had a clear
career path she wanted to follow. In col-
lege, she majored in hospitality and tour-
ism management, providing her with a
knowledge base to work at a venue like the
Stoneleigh Club.
And McKee doesn’t see herself leaving
the sales arena anytime soon. “I would like
to stay there and do even more training to
get better at what I do,” she said.
David Nichols, 26
Owner
Lawn Boy
David Nichols hasn’t let the economy
get in the way of his landscaping business.
Five and a half years ago, Nichols took over
ownership of Lawn Boy, a lawn service,
landscaping and hardscaping business.
Throughout that time, he has kept the
quality of his work top-notch.
“My motto is don’t cheapen labor and
sell yourself short when times are tough,”
Nichols said. “If you always deliver a good
product, people will stick with you.”
And Nichols’ idea has seemed to pay
off—he said the company’s total yearly
sales are between $250,000 and $350,000.
At least 50 percent of Lawn Boy’s income
can be attributed to BNI International’s
Northern Virginia chapter, Nichols said,
which is a business networking organiza-
tion that consists of one company per
industry. All companies included share
ideas and contacts, and refer one another.
Lawn Boy earns about $10,000 of its
income per month solely with the help
of BNI.
Nichols said
a friend from
L o u d o u n
Deck and
F e n c e
C o m p a n y
told him BNI
didn’t have a
company like
Lawn Boy on
board, and
he jumped at the opportunity.
But business hasn’t always been suc-
cessful—Nichols said the past two years
were difficult. However, he said this has
been the “best year yet.” Once a company
reaches its five-year mark, business starts
looking up, he added.
The 26-year-old gives his wife Meghan
credit for his success as well. Mainly he
said she provides him with moral support,
but she also takes on some of the compa-
ny’s office work, which can be a burden.
And he said she accepts it when the couple
cannot take vacations.
Despite the challenges Nichols has
faced, he said his true passion is working
outdoors and getting his hands dirty. But
what he loves most is seeing the finished
products and building relationships with
clients.
With his company making strides,
Nichols said he wants to see Lawn Boy
grow even more—it currently consists of
six workers who make up two full-time
crews. But he stressed he doesn’t want to
let the quality of his work slip. “We don’t
get jobs done just to get jobs done,” he
said.
Victoria Rawlings, 28
Director of Client Services
ARGroup
A recent Virginia transplant, Victoria
Rawlings has quickly made her mark on the
community.
Rawlings received her undergraduate
degree in security management and found
herself on the operations side of two Los
Angeles-based security companies, as their
San Diego County district manager.
Joining up with Sterling’s ARGroup one
month ago, Rawlings has quickly thrown
herself into her new role and shown her
business acumen. She and CEO Brian
Chavis quickly hit it off, growing their busi-
ness and professional life via networking.
With Chavis looking for somebody who
had experience on the operations side, as
well as someone with capable customer
service ability, Rawlings’ background was
right up ARGroup’s alley.
“In the IT industry when you are deal-
ing with companies it’s in the reactive
mode,” she said. “Coming from the security
industry I have a lot of experience dealing
with clients essentially freaking out and
learning how to handle them well and
remain diplomatic to keep people calm.”
R a w l i n g s
said she
hopes to
move up the
company lad-
der and one
day become
Chavis’ vice
p re s i d e n t .
In the mean
time, she is
confident that
ARGroup can
double where it is right now as a company
within the next five years.
Whenshe’snotatherdayjob,Rawlings
is anything but idle. She is involved with
Loudoun Young Professionals and Women
in Technology and also does a good bit of
consulting work.
“I help counsel people on how to inter-
view, write their résumé and learn to use
networking to leverage themselves into
a great position,” she said. “I’m working
on turning it into my own consulting busi-
ness.”
Nadia Saghafi, 25
Internet Services Director
Dulles Motorcars
It seems like Nadia Saghafi, still young
at 25, has been working in her father
and uncle’s car showroom from a young
age—and that’s because she has.
Saghafi started at Dulles Motorcars as
a young child, answering phones and filing
paperwork. When she graduated from col-
lege she took a job with another car dealer-
ship, but soon felt the lure of familiar ter-
ritory calling her home when the Leesburg
dealership was undergoing some changes.
“Venturing out made me realize how
nice it is to be here,” she said.
N o w ,
she shares
the show-
room floor
with many
other family
members and
friends, all of
whom were
personally
recruited by
the dealership
owners. Currently, about 15 family mem-
bers work at Dulles Motorcars and that is
one indicator of the kind of business the
family runs.
“We’re based on people, not profit,”
she says.
In her current role at Dulles Motorcars,
Saghafi deals with customers looking for
cars over the Internet and for many hers

is the first voice they hear over the tele-
phone when considering a major purchase.
She says educating customers and deliver-
ing an honest but competitive price is key,
as many in the community have had less
than positive experiences when buying a
car.
Saghafi is beginning a Master’s degree
program this summer and aims one day to
be an attorney. She adamantly states her
desire to stay within the family business
and grow, bringing the skills she learns in
the classroom to the showroom.
Amanda Sanderson, 25
Business Development Manager
GeoConcepts Engineering, Inc.
Only four short years ago, Amanda
Sanderson was graduating from Virginia
Tech with degrees in art history and
Spanish, about to begin a summer intern-
ship at GeoConcepts Engineering, Inc., a
company providing geotechnical engineer-
ing design and construction phase services
in Ashburn.
Although her majors don’t quite coin-
cide with her career, Sanderson’s decision
to work at GeoConcepts isn’t a surprise,
considering her interests. “I thought I want-
ed to be an architect when I was younger,”
she said. “So
I have a fas-
cination with
buildings.”
A f t e r
Sanderson’s
internship,
GeoConcepts
hired her as
the compa-
ny’s business
development
manager. On
the marketing
sideofherposition,Sanderson,25,provides
materials to clients when GeoConcepts is
pursuing a project, responds to business’
requests and writes proposals for public
sector clients such as Loudoun County and
the towns of Purcellville and Leesburg.
And on the business development
side, Sanderson builds relationships with
clients and nurtures those with existing
ties to the company, while identifying new
opportunities for GeoConcepts and its cus-
tomers.
Because GeoConcepts is trying to
promote itself to college students seek-
ing future jobs in marketing and busi-
ness, Sanderson also has spoken at George
Mason and American universities to gen-
erate interest in the company. “I feel like
I have had several opportunities at this
age to go out there and create an entire
network,” she said.
Sanderson said the company has
encouraged her as a young professional.
“They really push you and provide you
with a lot of training opportunities,” she
said. “I constantly feel like I have their sup-
port whenever I want to try new things.”
And she stressed the bond she
shares with her co-workers, as well as
GeoConcepts’ positive work environment
and culture—aspects that drive her to
work even harder.
“The company is amazing,” she said.
“I want to go out there and market and
develop business for them because you
want the business to succeed because it’s
like your family.”
Sanderson’s efforts haven’t subsided
either. She said she hopes to eventually
get her MBA and continue working on the
business side of the company, moving up
to a director position.
Alyssa Travers, 27
Marketing Coordinator
Reston Limousine
When a limousine cruises by, most
onlookers wonder what glamorous people
are riding inside. But they most likely
don’t think about who works to keep the
stretched vehicle’s company in business—
Alyssa Travers is one of those behind-the-
scenes people.
Travers, the marketing coordinator
for Reston Limousine and Travel Service,
Inc., maintains the company’s image. She
controls its email marketing campaign,
print and radio advertising and sponsor-
ships. And she ensures that the business’
advertisements and logos are consistent.
She also maintains the company web-
site by working directly with a Web devel-
oper. Travers has learned how to update
the site on her own.
“My work is ever changing,” Travers
said. “It is
never boring.
It is really
interesting to
watch what I
do and how
our company
is growing.”
B u t
T r a v e r s ,
27, has not
always held
the same position. She initially started
working in 2006 as an office manager—
duties she still maintains—before her pro-
motion two and a half years ago.
It is obvious Travers has settled into
the position well. Last year, she prepared
the company’s portfolio submission that
won Reston Limousine the Image Award,
which honors the best overall marketing
presentation, at the Limo Digest Show in
Atlantic City.
And Travers said she wants to con-
tinue to improve the company’s outreach
efforts. She hopes to complete an eMarket-
ing graduate certificate at the University
of Virginia, Travers’ alma mater. The
three-semester accelerated course would
help her give the company better online
exposure by being ahead of social media
trends.
However, Travers attributes her posi-
tive experience at Reston Limousine to its
CEO and President, Kristina Bouweiri. “She
is a great influence,” Travers said. “She is
willing to do anything for our employees.”
Ashlie Vickers, 28
Event Coordinator
Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce
Anyone who has been to a Loudoun
Chamber of Commerce event within the
last few years has come to find the smiling
face greeting
them at the
registration
table as cus-
tomary as
the good net-
working that
comes with
C h a m b e r
events.
T h a t
smiling face
and cheerful demeanor belongs to the
always beaming Ashlie Vickers, who has
served as the Chamber’s events coordina-
tor since 2006.
Vickers, a speech communications
major in college, knew she wanted to
do something “high energy” and work
with people while she was still in school.
Coming to Northern Virginia from a small
town in south Georgia, she admits she was
slightly overwhelmed with the change and
didn’t know where to start her job search.
She remembered advice from college
professors that chambers of commerce
were great places to look for internships
and entry-level public relations posi-
tions and she soon flooded the regional
Chambers with her resume.
She would soon get a call from Tony
Howard, then director of communication
for the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce, who
conducted a profile interview with her in
December 2005. Although there was no
position available at the Fairfax Chamber
at the time, the face time with Howard that
day would prove to be invaluable.
Vickers would take a job with a gov-
ernment contractor, one she admits she
was close to quitting out of unhappiness
when she got another call from Howard.
The Fairfax Chamber had a position open,
Vickers took it and she has teamed with
Howard ever since, including when he
came to Loudoun as the Chamber’s CEO.
Vickers said she loves working for
Howard and also enjoys the fun and flex-
ible nature of her work with the Chamber
and what the job has given her in return.
“The Chamber has generously allowed
me professional development and leader-
ship opportunities from the very start,”
she said. “I count it a privilege to work for
an organization that supports its staff on
a regular, ongoing basis, in professional
development training and gives you, as an
individual, the chance to speak out and
be the face of the Chamber on so many
levels.”
Vickers feels she has evolved both in
her duties and the breadth and depth of
what she does. Saying she believes there’s
“still room for more,” Vickers leaves the
future a bit open-ended. She may choose
one day to focus on priorities at home but
would love to keep her feet wet with the
Chamber.
“I’m passionate about what I’m doing
with them,” she said.
Sarah Vining, 23
Marketing Manager
The National Conference Center
Sarah Vining puts her customers
first—an action that has moved her up the
working ladder in less than a year. The 23-
year-old originally started working at the
National Conference Center in Lansdowne
as a marketing assistant in July 2010. But
this April, she was promoted to marketing
manager.
“The hospitality industry is about
delighting and not self serving,” Vining
said, “but serving others before you serve
yourself—that is what I enjoy most.”
As marketing manager, Vining said
she handles the company’s social media
efforts, blogs, oversees trade shows, plans
special events, works with public relations
and advertising agencies and brainstorms
plans to obtain new business.
But Vining didn’t always want to enter
the marking
field. After
g r a d u a t -
ing from the
College of
Charleston
with a degree
in corporate
and organi-
zational com-
munications,
she was look-
ing for job in public relations.
“Now that I am doing [marketing], I
actually like it a whole lot more,” she said.
“There are actually more structured goals
you are working toward. I enjoy it more
than I thought I would and more than pub-
lic relations.”
With next month marking her one-year
anniversary with the National Conference
Center, Vining said she will continue
to grow with the company and market-
ing industry to bring more business to
Loudoun County. As social media contin-
ues to change, Vining said she plans to
keep up with the trends.
“[I look forward to] always surprising
myself in exceeding others’ expectations,”

Autumn Wacker, 27
Executive Director
Ride-On Ranch
Autumn Wacker has seen the so-called
impossible happen—autistic nonverbal
children speak, partially immobile people
improve their walking—through equine
therapy.
Wacker, 27, is the executive direc-
tor of Ride-On Ranch, an equine assisted
therapeutic facility that provides rehabili-
tation to people with cognitive, physical
and psychological disabilities.
“I love watching the students be total-
ly different people in this environment,”
Wacker said. “They aren’t an autistic child.
They aren’t a person with PTSD. They
are just people who get to ride a horse.
The smiles on their faces—it is just amaz-
ing what the
horses do for
them.”
Wa c k e r
was previ-
ously a physi-
cal education
teacher and
is a third
generation
horse farmer
who owns
the ranch,
which is in
Lovettsville.
She said she
decided to combine her love for horses
with her desire to reach the disabled.
Therefore she opened Ride-On Ranch
and became a North American Riding for
the Handicapped Association therapeutic
riding instructor. NAHA is an organization
that promotes safe and effective therapeu-
tic horseback riding.
As an instructor, Wacker said she
uses the natural environment and horses
to facilitate learning and growth, which
carries over into a child’s schooling or an
adult’s daily activities.
While riding a horse, Wacker said
students, who range from 5-year-olds to
70-year-olds, complete a variety of differ-
ent activities, such as steering through
different apparatuses and retrieving items.
She also said students “learn different life
skills that they might not have a chance to
learn otherwise.”
Mainly, students learn how to react
in different situations by seeing how their
actions affect horses, Wacker said. “The
horse just opens up so many doors for
these people,” she said.
Wacker is expanding her opportuni-
ties as well. In December, she will gradu-
ate from Shenandoah University with an
occupational therapist degree. Once she
is a health services professional, Wacker
can provide therapy to those who pay for
it through insurance, rather than out-of-
pocket funds.
Post-graduation, Wacker said she will
continue to expand Ride-On Ranch and be
available full time to reach more clients.
“It has been an amazing experience. I
truly believe it is my calling,” she said. “I
have been so blessed to be able to do this
with our farm and with the horses.”
Officer Kevin Zodrow, 28
Police Academy Trainer/Emergency
Response Team
Leesburg Police Department
Originally planning on getting his
degree in graphic design, it was a career
development class that turned Officer
Kevin Zodrow’s eye toward law enforce-
ment—and he has never looked back.
He began the year named Officer of the
Quarter for the first part of 2011.
For the last year Zodrow has been
the Leesburg Police Department’s officer
at the training academy in Ashburn—
a regional academy that sees recruits
from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office,
the Metropolitan Washington Airports
Authority police force, Purcellville,
Middleburg, Alexandria, Arlington and
Falls Church come through. After three
and a half years in the patrol division
of LPD, Zodrow was drawn to the train-
ing academy post by a drive to prepare
recruits for the realities of 21st century
policing.
Zodrow says he loves teaching and
working to take the Leesburg Police
Department to the next level and prepar-
ing it for the future.
“I have
a passion
for research
and develop-
ment. With
that constant
delivery of
relevant and
recent infor-
mation, training and tactics, my goal is
to ensure the LPD maintains its status as
a leading agency in the national capital
region in all facets of policing,” he said.
At the Northern Virginia Criminal
Justice Training Academy, Zodrow works
with recruit classes that can range in
numbers from around 25 to more than
100 potential officers and deputies. In
addition to basic training of the recruits,
Zodrow, a certified personal trainer, is
an academy physical fitness instructor,
co-leading the functional fitness program
for the recruits. He also is an Emergency
Vehicle Operations driving instructor.
In addition to working on patrol and
at the academy, the Maryland native has
had the opportunity to taste a lot of dif-
ferent aspects of the police department—
something for which he is grateful.
“There are so many things to do
within law enforcement,” he said. “If I had
to sit behind a desk and push a keyboard
for the next 20 years I don’t think I could
do that.”
When he was out for the birth of his
daughter, he received an offer to join the
criminal investigations unit on a tempo-
rary assignment. In July 2009, he decided
to cut his leave short and join the unit,
which was seeing an extremely heavy
caseload. Zodrow was the department’s
liaison to the NAACP for two years before
being assigned to the academy. And when
he was sidelined with an injury, he was
invited to be a recruiter and background
investigator, where he did three separate
assignments, the latest between the two
annual recruit classes at the beginning of
the year.
Zodrow also is a member of the
department’s Emergency Response Team
and has been for the past three years.
Even as a part of the emergency team—
where he was one of the officers who
responded to the July 2009 hostage situ-
ation in Leesburg—Zodrow has taken on
a leadership role when the team gets
together twice a month for training.
“I’ve gotten to do a lot of things within
the team that have made me a better
police officer, whether it be tactically or
increasing my knowledge and ability,” he
said.
The married father of one who has
another baby on the way says he sees
no limit to the things he can do in law
enforcement.
“I think it all goes back to what you
put in is what you get out of it,” he said.
Adam Zuckerman, 23
Legislative Assistant
Sen. Mark Herring (D-33)
For James Madison University gradu-
ate Adam Zuckerman, being selected to
work as legislative assistant to Sen. Mark
Herring (D-33) was a homecoming.
Zuckerman, who will turn 24 June 25,
grew up in Cascades and graduated from
Potomac Falls High School in 2005. After
receiving his bachelor’s degree in political
science with a minor in political commu-
nications from JMU in 2009, Zuckerman
went to work on the lieutenant governor
campaign for Jody Wagner. When that
campaign was winding down, Zuckerman
learned that Herring was looking for a
legislative assistant. He had volunteered
on Herring’s re-election campaign in 2007,
and was eager to return to his home
county.
“I love this area. It has been very good
to me. I enjoy helping my neighbors and
the people who live in my community,”
he said. “We get constituents contacting
the office all the time with a variety of
challenges. Any time I am able to help
somebody with whatever problem they’re
facing, that’s really gratifying.”
Entering the political and govern-
ment arena came naturally to Zuckerman,
whose parents emphasized the impor-
tance of keeping up-to-date on important
issues.
“My parents are both very active
people. My mom ran for the School Board
in 1999, so that was really my first expo-
sure to what
c a m p a i g n -
ing was like,”
Z u c k e r m a n
said. “My par-
ents always
i m p r e s s e d
upon me the
value of good
citizenship.”
Wo r k i n g
in Herring’s
office has
been a valu-
able learning experience, he said, one that
he believes has laid a good foundation for
his future in politics and government.
“It’s been a really good experience to
be able to work in state government and
learn about the law and all the different
issues that Virginia faces,” he said.
The job has taught him not only how
to address problems facing people in the
33rd District, but how to work within the
political system. Zuckerman finds himself
continuously working with the legisla-
tive assistants for all of Loudoun’s other
state representatives—regardless of their
political affiliation.
“We work together to solve problems
for the same constituent. And it’s not
political at all,” he said. “People don’t
realize that one call to their state rep can
result in pretty immediate results.”
And that is the most satisfying part of
his job.
“I think it is important for people to
know that they can get good customer
service from the their government, espe-
cially at the local level,” he said. “Those
are the ones who are supposed to be
helping you with the everyday issues you
face.”
When he looks toward the future,
Zuckerman sees many directions he could
take his career. He has his eyes on federal
campaigns, Capitol Hill and eventually
political consulting. “With my degree and
the experiences I have had, there are a lot
of opportunities for the future.”
But for now, Zuckerman is pleased at
where life has taken him and that he can
make an impact on those around him.
“I am really happy with where I am
now. I have met a lot of people and made
a lot of really good connections that will
open up a lot of doors for me in the future.
Even though it is an uncertain time in
terms of the job market, I am pretty opti-
mistic.”

line to guide it to and from the gates, he
said.
Dulles is the second U.S. A380 desti-
nation for Air France; the first was New
York’s John F. Kennedy International
Airport. The airline also operates the air-
craft between Paris and Montreal, Tokyo
and Johannesburg and will begin service
to San Francisco in June.
If for some reason Air France’s A380
flights were diverted from Dulles, they
could land at airports that already accom-
modate them—such as New York’s JFK—
or airports in Pittsburgh or Philadelphia,
Etienne Dailly, station manager with Air
France-KLM, said
Three other airlines likely will use
A380s in the future at Dulles, and air-
port authorities already are looking for
ways to accommodate them nearby on
Concourse B.
Eighteen airlines have ordered a total
of 234 A380s. Forty-seven of the planes
fly today on Emirates (15), Lufthansa
(seven), Qantas (10), Air France (four)
and Singapore Airlines (11), which was
the first customer to fly the super-jumbo
jet.
Despite its outsized dimensions and
a whale-like appearance that has drawn
aesthetic barbs from critics, the A380 is
quiet, fuel-efficient and brimming with
state-of-the-art technology, Airbus offi-
cials said.
Airbus set out to design an aircraft
that could change the game the same way
Boeing’s iconic 747 did in the 1970s, Dan
Cohen-Nir, programs director with Airbus
Americas, said.
“We didn’t want, when we started to
look into the very-large-aircraft market, to
come up with a warmed-over version of
some of our existing airplanes,” he said.
“We decided to go for an all-new design.”
Fuel efficiencies and higher pas-
senger loads mean one A380 flight can
take the place of two wide-body aircraft
flights. The plane’s upper deck has as
many seats as an Airbus A340-300 and its
main deck seats as many as a Boeing 777-
200, officials said.
Thanks to ample use of composite
materials and fuel-efficient engines, the
A380 gets about 81 miles per gallon per
passenger, or about 20 percent better
mileage than a 747, Cohen-Nir said.
Boeing recently debuted its 747-8, a
more fuel-efficient jet that has swooped-
back wings like the A380. A crucial ele-
ment of the A380’s design was minimizing
the necessity for new infrastructure at air-
ports, Cohen-Nir said. The A380 requires
less runway for takeoffs and landings than
some other large jets, he said. The A380 is
238.5 feet long (slightly shorter than the
747-8), has a 261.65-foot wingspan and a
tail that soars 79 feet into the air.
The aircraft serves 11 of the 15 largest
international airports, and most of those
facilities have spent between $20 mil-
lion and $30 million to accommodate the
planes.
The A380 is the quietest long-haul
aircraft flying, producing 20 decibels less
than the 747, Cohen-Nir said. The Airbus
makes half the noise of its Boeing counter-
part on takeoffs and one-quarter of it on
landings.
The A380 Air France used at Dulles
has four classes instead of the usual three.
There are nine first-class seats on the
main deck in the Premiere section and
80 Affaires, or business-class, seats in
the upper deck. Divided between the two
decks will be 389 economy-class seats
in the Voyageur section and 38 in the
Premium Voyageur section, which will
offer more roomy seating.
The aircraft’s Premiere section also
features an art gallery and changing room.
There is one bar in first class, two in busi-
ness class and three in the economy sec-
tions.
Will there be delicious cuisine and
champagne served in all sections? Bien
sur, Dailly said.

dents, as it has done in Purcellville.
Inova Loudoun Hospital CEO Randy
Kelley thanked Walker for her ongoing assis-
tance in identifying a suitable location for a
primary care facility, and said the hospital
was looking forward to getting underway
with the necessary renovations to meet an
anticipated opening date of Sept. 1.
James Rohrbaugh, chief growth offi-
cer for Inova Loudoun Hospital, said the
search has not been easy. “We’ve signed
multiple agreements. We initially planned
to go to the Town Center, but that didn’t
get built, so we continued to try to find the
right location, that would be very acces-
sible and have adequate parking.”
Rohrbaugh said the five-year lease
agreement with the Georges is the result
of that search. “It’s a very suitable location
for what we want to do,” he said.
Initially, the office will be open eve-
nings and weekends. Details of hours of
operation and the physician load still
remain to be worked out, Rohrbaugh said.
“We’ll see how it goes before making any
decisions to expand,” he said. As with
Inova’s Dulles South and Purcellville cen-
ters, hours will be adjusted based on utili-
zation.
Renovations will begin immediately,
with four examination rooms constructed
in the existing space.
Meanwhile, Inova’s other western
Loudoun medical facility in Purcellville is
steadily expanding as more doctors move
into the building and as people learn about
the facility, which also offers emergency
services.
“We’ve offered new and expanded ser-
vices, such as drivers’ examinations and
tests for insurance company, and are offer-
ing more employer services,” Rohrbaugh
said.
Fred George said the couple was
pleased with the lease, which was brokered
by Realtor Jorge Portalea of Turning Point
Real Estate of Frederick, MD. Particularly,
George said, as a native of Lovettsville,
he was glad to see the return of a medical
office in town—noting as a youngster he
had his physical with Dr. Carpenter, who
serviced as the town’s doctor for three
decades.
“It’s exciting,” the mayor said after the
announcement, noting this has been one
of her major goals for almost 15 years and
“it’s good to see it realized.”
Change is on the horizon in Leesburg
as well, as Inova Loudoun Hospital’s
Cornwall campus is getting a much-needed
facelift and ground will start moving soon.
Renovations will begin imminently,
Rohrbaugh said in a May 10 presentation
to the Leesburg Town Council, and will be
split into two phases. The first phase will
involve the replacement of the “skin” on
the 1974 medical office building with new
brick, and opening up the building to more
light. The first phase also includes the ren-
ovation and construction of the new emer-
gency department, lab and radiology, out-
patient imaging enhancements, including
a new CT scanner as well as upgrades to
patient transport and security and added
shell space to expand the hospital’s ser-
vices in the future. Both the Loudoun Free
Clinic and the Child Advocacy Center will
maintain space on the campus, even when
renovations are complete.
Phase two will involve a new inpatient
behavioral medicine unit with 22 beds.
The first phase of construction is
expectedtokickoffinAugust,withaground-
breaking planned for July, Rohrbaugh said.
Construction cannot begin until late sum-
mer because the hospital maintains a lease
with the Fire Marshal’s Office that will end
in August. The first phase of construc-
tion will wrap in December 2012, with
phase two construction kicking off two
months prior to allow for the move of the
Community Health Center.
Rohrbaugh said it is important to get
the phase one construction done in 2012,
as it coincides with the 100th anniversary
of Inova’s nonprofit service to the commu-
nity.
“It’s an exciting opportunity to cel-
ebrate that as well as the next generation
of the campus,” he said.
Phase two construction is expected
to be completed by September 2013. The
demolition of the hospital’s east wing will
begin at the dawn of 2014, with the instal-
lation of surface parking at the east wing
completed in July of that year.
Although the shovel on the project is
not yet in the ground, Rohrbaugh said Inova
is already working with a group of citizens,
community members and businesses from
Leesburg and western Loudoun to “focus
on what the next phase of the project is
after this,” including “what other services
make sense to put on the campus.”
“We’ll have plenty of footprint to pro-
vide other services,” he said.
