the newly formed Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team. Utilizing his
extensive knowledge of event marketing and expos, Don sourced and acquired the team marketing and event equipment, designed and developed internal operations systems, and ran day-to-day operations of the team throughout the inaugural 2006 season.
