Thelma Washington



Biltmore Who's Who Selects Thelma Washington as this week's Honored Member of the Executive and Professional Registry for 2009.

Thelma Washington, a manager for One Hour Martinizing, has been selected as an Honored Member of the Biltmore Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. Washington has just written and released a book titled, I Only Want To See Your Eyes. It went to print this past October, 2008.

Washington was inspired after a family member of hers tried to seduce her mind into believing he was in love with her for personal gain. As an everyday working mom "trying to walk the straight and narrow," she was suddenly caught up in a wicked storm that would lead her to investigate both his mind and motive.

In the book, she said, "I feed into his mind to see where it could lead. Finding myself caught up and feeling deeply in love with a voice, a voice so powerful that it leads me to want to teach him a lesson he’ll never forget."

Published by Author House in Bloomington, Indiana, her book can be ordered through any Barnes and Noble bookstore, through http://www.authorhouse.com or through http://www.Amazon.com. The book is printed on an on-demand basis only.

Richard M. Ruggiero

Biltmore Who's Who Selects Richard M. Ruggiero as this week's Honored Member of the Executive and Professional Registry for 2009.

Richard M. Ruggiero, project manager for CDI Corporation, has been selected as an Honored Member of the Biltmore Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. The selection recognizes Richard M. Ruggiero's commitment to excellence in the Information Technology industry.

After making his way through college, he began a fifteen year-long venture with GE Aerospace (later known as Lockheed Martin), where he held a number of different positions, including quality assurance for hardware and software, program control, systems engineer and product control. Ruggiero's next stint lasted another seven years with The Vanguard Group, a financial company where he lead their project management office. From there, Ruggiero settled in with CDI Corporation, where he has worked as a project manager for the last three and a half years.

Ruggiero's objective to continue working in his field is still much desired. He would, however, like to someday branch out into the healthcare or construction field. "In the healthcare industry I could help with increasing efficiencies regarding workflow, benefiting patient experiences. In construction, I could leverage my project management experience in planning and management, while at the same time being able to work outdoors," he said. Still though, he is the first to admit that his biggest inspiration remains to be his family. "The need to take care of my family is my number one motivation. I want to be sure that my children are not limited when choosing colleges. Having choices is important to me."

Mr. Ruggiero received his BS in Computer Science from Drexel University, followed by a MS in Organizational Dynamics from the University of Pennsylvania and is a certified project management professional. He is a member of the Project Management Institute and donates to the Debora Heart and Lung Hospital in Brown Mills, New Jersey. In his spare time, Ruggiero enjoys the arts, reading, gardening, walking and traveling.
