Construction and Design Veteran to Advise in Key Areas Relating to Company’s Efforts with Military and Government Housing


PLEASANT HILL, Calif. (January 14, 2009) — Pacific Housing Systems ™, LLC today announced former Actus SVP of Design & Construction, Clyde Trego, has joined the company’s Advisory Board, and will serve with current members Dan Rhoades, Gene St. Onge, and Kerri Howell in providing advice and counsel relating to their various areas of expertise. Trego, who has worked on over fifty large-scale residential military housing projects valued at over $4.25 billion, will also serve as an independent consultant, providing assistance in business development efforts relating specifically to military and government housing opportunities.

Jim Winslow, CTO of PHS, said: “Clyde brings a lifetime of experience in every key phase of construction to the table, including design, estimating, and project management. In over 20 years with Actus, he’s worked on delivering thousands of military housing units in New York, California, South Carolina, Kentucky, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, Virginia, New Mexico, Illinois and Hawaii.”

Winslow continued: “When you add his work with the upcoming relocation of Marine units from Okinawa to Guam, and the $1.3 billion military housing project at Camp Humphreys in South Korea, it’s clear you have an individual who brings a level of expertise that is critical as we take our WAFFLEMAT foundation forming and helical anchor support solutions to providers of military and government housing worldwide.”

Trego said: “Builders today are, more than ever, looking for cost effective solutions that provide superior performance, and the WAFFLEMAT foundation-forming system and Winslow Geo Anchor products certainly deliver. The cost savings in soils work, materials, and building cycletime are measurable, and with millions and millions square feet of residential living space installed without one reported structural failure, they obviously provide tremendous performance.”

“I’m honored to join the PHS Advisory Board, and look forward to not only providing advice and counsel, but assisting in business development efforts for these great products in the military and government housing arenas.”
