Mr. Geary was the owner of Versaform Corporation and Versaform Canada Corporation, both of which were acquired by LMI Aerospace on May 16, 2002. "Brian's experience at Versaform in the corporate and regional aircraft markets will be quite valuable to LMI," said Ronald Saks. "We also expect to use Brian's broad knowledge of the supplier base to complement our acquisition strategy." Mr. Geary currently holds the position of General Manager of Versaform Corporation.
