Ballistic Recovery Systems has
announced that Dan Johnson resigned his position as Vice President
of Sales and Marketing and has assumed the role of an Independent
Contractor providing marketing, advertising, and Public Relations
services. After 17 years as BRS vice president, Johnson and BRS
president and CEO, Mark B. Thomas, signed an agreement for Johnson
to continue to work with BRS as it enters its next phase of growth
as the world leader in emergency parachute systems.
"We wanted to harness Dan's talents in a way that works best for
BRS and for Dan," said Thomas. Additionally, Mr. Johnson will
continue to represent BRS as he serves on industry Boards and
panels. Thomas commented, "Dan is well known in the aviation
community through his writing and BRS is pleased to retain his
knowledge and experience." The new role combines effectively with
Johnson's work as an aviation author for six publications.
BRS has begun its search for a full time Vice President of Sales
and has named Stewart D. Siebell as interim Sales Manager to work
through the transition. Gregg Ellsworth has been reassigned to
manage inside sales, customer relations and to continue his work as
coordinator of trade shows and to conduct customer and dealer
training.
BRS will be announcing new products and other exciting
developments to further expand its leadership in the industry
as the leading aviation innovator of aircraft safety. Since
the early 1980s BRS has delivered over 18,000 parachute systems to
aircraft owners around the world. Actual documented uses of these
systems are credited with saving the lives of 158 persons through
July 2003.
