Does he have any REAL references? These are they type of questions that need to be asked.

Yes and No...His company Prometheus Towers DID NOT have a website...But he was known to an extent in the 'industry'.

If you go to the Yahoo Message board 'Tower Pro', there is one poster that details work he did with Nick...and If you search the news wires photo banks you will find a couple of pictures of him related to his industry.

Two are at a trade show, one is him fixing what looks like some sort of electrical panel. He is wearing climbing gear.

The fact is that his company was probably more of a write off channel... or somthing else...

What kind of guy who has a serious business is 'chipping wells' in Uganda and 'making mud bricks in Ghana...and the next thing he is a freelance high-tower guy gallivanting around Iraq...

I don't doubt that this guy worked in the Tower industry. But did he know enough at age 26 about the logistics involved in setting up construction in foreign countries that are, in fact, war zones? Or did he know just enough to pretend that he did?

My guess is that if he was just doing tower work, and repair, he could make about $2.00 per hour in Iraq. He would have to compete with all the locals who did the work before the Americans came. The same work in the US would pay about $100 per hour minimum.

It makes no sense. The only way he could hope to make the kind of money he could make in the US is if he were to contract directly with the Military. And trust me, with his father's credentials, he couldn't land a military contract if he bid out at 50 cents an hour.
