MY CAREER
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Timothy B. Oglesby
Background- CLEAR Property Management Company-www.clearpm.com- Austin, TX
As an affiliate company of The PPA Group, the CLEAR portfolio was 2300 units when I began.
I’ve increased it to 4000 units, with many more on the cusp of coming online.
Previously, CLEAR had three different Presidentsin seven months. Other PPA affiliatesalso
had very high executive turnover. I felt I could influence fixing the issues,organizational
structure and the behaviors that caused the turnover. As a member of PPA’s executive team, I
have been very instrumental in reorienting company vision, strategy and staff alignment,
including drafting the parent company’s mission. Resulting in successto all five companies.
Accomplishments-

mission statements,core values, service credo, BHAG, and customer service philosophy. I’ve
lead operation improvements by; developing the operation procedures manual, launching
company intranet web portal, personnel reorganization, new management acquisitions (9
properties within 90 days), due diligence procedures, property takeover procedures, personnel &
company SMART goal setting, and the development of company image & re-branding.
Launched ‘new to the company’ initiatives such as;
 Created SmartTenant, a tenant bonding program, yielding $40k annually.

asked for the rights to use.

annually to CLEAR PM and an average of $50k per property.

 Name Change- The parent company The PPA Group formed a property management
company to manage their assets in 2008. They called it “PPA- Real Estate Management”. This

private individual that conducted businessas The Avalon Group (non-incorporated).
My Accomplishments
 Complete Rebuild- of five conventional market rate apartment properties in McHenry and
Kane counties. Developed and orchestrated a multiple phase construction plan that allowed
property to still function in some areas with lower occupancy while renovations were being
accomplished. Developed program of free building transfersto newly renovated apartments for
good tenants.
 Hired, trained and empowered- a team of professional property managers, maintenance

began 4-year security deposit refund policy and 100% call back policy with service requests.

relationship/referral building (pipeline building), mall kiosk advertising, mass transit
advertising, 32-day money back guarantee, raffles, website advertising, resident referral
programs, competitor direct mail advertising, condo right sizing marketing,etc. Developed the

Sonlife LeadershipCenter
A non-profit Conference/Retreat Center in Elburn, IL
Owned by Sonlife Ministries - Dann Spader, President
My Accomplishments
 Complete “Extreme makeover” type renovation of motel & 130 year old VictorianMansion
into a luxury A+ Class retreat center with twelve suites- decorated in vintage Victorianfair, five
meeting rooms, two dining rooms and commercial kitchen. Property was featured in Victorian
Homes Magazine in 1999.
 Reorganized & streamlined operations including; guest services, reservations, food service,
housekeeping,and maintenance,resulting in positive margin in six months.
 Reconfigured motel to maximize space usage, increasing revenue/room by 154%.
 Aggressive Marketing resulted in a 325% increase in revenue in six months.
Built “GREEN” construction - I gave special attention to building with high efficiency in mind,
resulting in reduced energy and water consumption by 47%.
Zoned thermostats- I installed individually zoned heat thermostats on every room’s radiator
so that guests could adjust each room to their liking. This allowed us to maintainthe Victorian
charm of the rooms and allowed us to turn down unused rooms, saving 25-40% in natural gas
cost.
On-demand water heaters- I installed state of the art instantaneous water heaters near every
bathroom. This saved guests having to wait five minutes for hot water to arrive from the
basement of a four story building, plus saving both gas and water.
“Super cool” Air Conditioning- I had installed first generation state of the art “super cool”
high efficiency air conditioning units with high velocity duct systems, it was the first system of
its kind in Northern Illinois. These units operated on low power consumption while supplying
super refrigerated air in small 2” insulated duct pipe. Although common today, cutting edge in
1997.
Triple pane Low-E windows: We replaced all the old Victorian sash cord windows with replica
energy efficient windows.
In 2006 the property was sold, and is now The Great Lake LeadershipCampus.

Woodstock Conference Center
A Conference and Retreat Center in Woodstock, IL
Owner NIU Foundation – Thomas Mitchell, President
Story behind the Center- Originally founded by Silvia Scheinfeldas a retreat center to discuss world
issues, upon her death it was donated to The Northern Illinois University Foundation in 1987 with the
stipulation that they not sell the property for ten years. During the twenty years preceding Oasis
Management’s operation of the center, it had lost money each year, resulting in over $1,000,000.00
operating loss for the NIU Foundation in just five years. Within six months after Tim Oglesby assumed
leadership, the Woodstock Center broke even.
My Accomplishments
 Reorganized all operational functions including; food service,guest services, marketing,
housekeeping,maintenance,and programming. All previous staff were released and all new
staff were hired to help implement a new customer centered philosophy. New equipment was
secured in all operational areas and new streamlined operational systems were put in place.
 Reconfigured lodging rooms to maximize space usage and increasing the revenue per
bedroom by an average of 200%. Designed creative fold-out-of-the-wall bunk beds for when
rooms were used by youth and children’s groups.
 Aggressive Marketing including;direct mail,brochure development, internet website and
personal sales resulted in a 370% increase in revenue in two years.
 Construction/Renovation – converted managers house into small motel, built third dining
room, two lakeside conference rooms, swimmingpool, ropes course and climbing wall, sand
volleyball courts, archeryrange. Cleared and established two five acre play fields for marching
band and sports teams to use.
RESULTS- The Woodstock Center became profitable for the first time in history about eight months after
I began. My work was recognizedby several trade associations, local newspapers, and the NIU
Foundation. As a result, I was often requestedto provide consulting services for other like-sized
conference centers andoperate a portfolio of conference centers (adding Sonlife & Geneva Bay Centre).
Oasis Management operatedthe Woodstock Center for the remainder of NIU Foundations’ obligation plus
one year, saving the NIU Foundation well over a million dollars and creating a small profit for Oasis
Management. At the urging of the ScheinfeldFoundation, The NIU Foundation decided in 1998 to sell
the center to the McHenry County Conservation District.

increase.
Geneva Bay Centre
A large not-for-profit Camp, Conference,Retreat Center in Lake Geneva,WI
Owned by the Covenant Church
Story behind the centre- For the six years prior to my involvement the operation had lost money,
incurred operational debt and the Board drafted up plans to sell part or all of the facility. Instead of
selling, the Board formed a separate Foundation Board to raise money. The Foundation Board
underwrote the cost of three new staff positions for one year; an Administrative Director (purpose being to
reduce operational expenses, increase revenue andsupervise most of the operation), Marketing Director
(to assist the A.D. in increasing the use of the center) and a Director of Development (to raise money for
an endowment). I servedin the role of Administrative Director.
My Accomplishments
 Launched Strategic Marketing plan that included;direct mail,new marketing personnel,
website development, registration software and program enhancements, resulting in a
$290,000.00 increase in business (14%) in one year.
 Reorganized & streamlined the accounting department including switching from a
complicated multi-software UNIX system to Quickbooks. Canceled all outsourcingof human
resource and payroll functions, saving $24,000.00 annually.

annually.
 Installed weekly “lunch-n-learn” staff training meetings.
 Developed and Installed TQM standards of performance systems for housekeeping and
maintenance,which included procedures for management verification.
 Reconfigured the summer youth programs, combining smaller programs into the same time
periods. This freed up two summer weeksto fill with guest groups, resulting in a $6,000.00
reduction in expense and $54,000.00 increase in revenue.
CONCLUSION- The facility was saved from eventual liquidation and is still running strong today.
Chula Vista Conference Retreat Center
A non-profit conference retreat center in Pell City, AL
Owned by the Church of God, Anderson, Ind.
Story behind the center- The property had built a nice quality motel and meeting facility a year
before I arrived, but was only used about 20% of the available capacity. I agreedto accept as my
compensation 10 percent of the total revenue the center brought in (which was $130,000 at the time I
was hired). At the end of my first year revenue grew to $370,000 and $650,000 the second year for a
400% increase in revenue over two years.
My Accomplishments
 Launched Strategic Marketing plan that included;direct mail,new marketing personnel,
registrationsoftware, and proactively visiting potential user groups, resulting in a 400%
increase in revenue over two years.
 Reorganized & Streamlined the guest registration systems, food service department,
housekeeping,maintenance and marketing operations.
 Satellite Food Service – I converted the youth camp kitchen into a warm-up satellite kitchen
where all the meals were prepared at the conference center kitchenand transported across the
lake to the youth camp kitchen, then served. This saved $29,000.00 in annual labor costs.
 Guest Service Orientation- I started having weekly meetingsto talk about how to improve
our customer service. As a result the team implemented several ideas that helped us achieve a
very high guest return rate of 87% from 1992 to 1993 (Disney World has a guest return rate of
70%).
 Positive Margin – Chula Vista had not experienced a positive cash margin for about ten
years prior to my arrival. Both years I was there, thenexperienced a positive margin that was
used to improve the facilities.
 Renovated Cottages- Due to the increased demand for the motel accommodations,I led a
group of volunteers in completely renovating twelve cottageson the youth camp side of the lake.
I installed HVAC, electricity, windows, doors, wood plank paneling, and insulation. The cost of
renovations was paid for by the third month of renting the cottagesand they served to provide
Chula Vista with an excellent source of revenue for years into the future, approximately
$240,000 per year. It was the best financial decision I had made there.
 Built Pavilion- I contacted Briarwood PresbyterianChurch in Birminghamthat ran a
summer day camp about switching their program to Chula Vista. They needed some things we
didn’t have, so I negotiated with a board member to lend us the money to build what Briarwood
needed. Briarwood signed a three year contract withChula Vista and we paid back the board
member with the deposit Briarwood made.

King’s Domain Retreat and Conference Center
A non-profit 501c(3) organizationin Cincinnati,Ohio
Owned by Wendel Deyo- National Director, Athletes in Action
Story behind the center- Wendel Deyo was the National Director for Athletes in Action, a national
ministry to college and professional athletes. He served as chaplain for the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals.
In 1988 he bought an old abandoned Camp Fire Girls camp in nearby Oregonia, Ohio that had sat
unused for seven years. All infrastructure requiredreplacement. As is the policy with many ministries, I
was requiredto raise my own support. King’s Domain did not have any money to renovate, so along with
Mr. Deyo, money was raisedthrough donations. King’s Domain was a huge challenge and one of the
highlights of my young career.
My Accomplishments
 Developed Master Scenario- Researched the area, conducted marketing surveys, feasibility
studies and financial proforma models to determine the center’s viability.
 Developed Master Plan – Led physical concept planning with architects, engineers, and
contractors. Together we developed the long range $18 million development plan.
 Rebuilt infrastructure- including; water and sewage systems (aerator system),electric,
phone, cable systems, roads, recreation fields, parking lots.
 Renovated commercial kitchen- New rubber roof, commercial paint, new ovens, rebuilt
dishwasher, new dishes and flatware.
 Construction- I personally built (almost single handedly) the National offices for Athletes in
Action, including; framing, electrical, information systems wiring, some plumbing, insulation,
drywall, siding and trim work. Placed large handhewn beams in the building and hand made
all the doors to fit with the middle ages theme.
 Launched Strategic Marketing plan with direct mail, phone salesand presentations at
community and church user groups.
RESULT- Launched this new facility and brought it to financial solvencyin the second year I
was there. For more information,here’s a link:

  • 2. Background- CLEAR Property Management Company-www.clearpm.com- Austin, TX As an affiliate company of The PPA Group, the CLEAR portfolio was 2300 units when I began. I’ve increased it to 4000 units, with many more on the cusp of coming online. Previously, CLEAR had three different Presidentsin seven months. Other PPA affiliatesalso had very high executive turnover. I felt I could influence fixing the issues,organizational structure and the behaviors that caused the turnover. As a member of PPA’s executive team, I have been very instrumental in reorienting company vision, strategy and staff alignment, including drafting the parent company’s mission. Resulting in successto all five companies. Accomplishments-  Led senior team thru significant strategic change, including; drafting company’s purpose & mission statements,core values, service credo, BHAG, and customer service philosophy. I’ve lead operation improvements by; developing the operation procedures manual, launching company intranet web portal, personnel reorganization, new management acquisitions (9 properties within 90 days), due diligence procedures, property takeover procedures, personnel & company SMART goal setting, and the development of company image & re-branding. Launched ‘new to the company’ initiatives such as;  Created SmartTenant, a tenant bonding program, yielding $40k annually.  Invented the SmartNumbers report (a SQL report in Yardi) that other companies have asked for the rights to use.  Rent Maximizer revenue optimization software.  Rent Café marketing, website and network marketing software.  Payment processing software to receive online payments.  Resident Shield and Master Policy renters insurance programs which yield $30k annually to CLEAR PM and an average of $50k per property.  Utility fees, recapturing over 70% of utility costs, replacing our RUBS fees.  Developed water conservation program saving the properties $300k annually and netting CLEAR PM $60k annually.  Redesigned and automated our commission & bonus structures, saving 81% in labor.  Introduced company to auto-time keeping system, saving about $45k per year.  Fiber cable provider that allows us to resell TV & Internet services netting CLEAR $140k annually and $1.4MM to the properties.  “Accent your Life” color selection program, renewal incentive programs, commission enhancements, matrix driven quarterly bonus program.  Reducing expenses & increasing revenue;  Renegotiated Yardi software contact, saving $30k annually.  Increased rents 4.5% annually via Rent Maximizer for the portfolio.  Increasing fees such as; utility fees, pet fees, lock out fees, transfer fees, and administrative fees with NO negative impact on resident retention, leasing success or overall customer satisfaction.  Reduced portfolio delinquency from 6.08% in April 2014 to 0.39% in September 2015.

  • 7. Woodstock Conference Center A Conference and Retreat Center in Woodstock, IL Owner NIU Foundation – Thomas Mitchell, President Story behind the Center- Originally founded by Silvia Scheinfeldas a retreat center to discuss world issues, upon her death it was donated to The Northern Illinois University Foundation in 1987 with the stipulation that they not sell the property for ten years. During the twenty years preceding Oasis Management’s operation of the center, it had lost money each year, resulting in over $1,000,000.00 operating loss for the NIU Foundation in just five years. Within six months after Tim Oglesby assumed leadership, the Woodstock Center broke even. My Accomplishments  Reorganized all operational functions including; food service,guest services, marketing, housekeeping,maintenance,and programming. All previous staff were released and all new staff were hired to help implement a new customer centered philosophy. New equipment was secured in all operational areas and new streamlined operational systems were put in place.  Reconfigured lodging rooms to maximize space usage and increasing the revenue per bedroom by an average of 200%. Designed creative fold-out-of-the-wall bunk beds for when rooms were used by youth and children’s groups.  Aggressive Marketing including;direct mail,brochure development, internet website and personal sales resulted in a 370% increase in revenue in two years.  Construction/Renovation – converted managers house into small motel, built third dining room, two lakeside conference rooms, swimmingpool, ropes course and climbing wall, sand volleyball courts, archeryrange. Cleared and established two five acre play fields for marching band and sports teams to use. RESULTS- The Woodstock Center became profitable for the first time in history about eight months after I began. My work was recognizedby several trade associations, local newspapers, and the NIU Foundation. As a result, I was often requestedto provide consulting services for other like-sized conference centers andoperate a portfolio of conference centers (adding Sonlife & Geneva Bay Centre). Oasis Management operatedthe Woodstock Center for the remainder of NIU Foundations’ obligation plus one year, saving the NIU Foundation well over a million dollars and creating a small profit for Oasis Management. At the urging of the ScheinfeldFoundation, The NIU Foundation decided in 1998 to sell the center to the McHenry County Conservation District.

  • 10. Chula Vista Conference Retreat Center A non-profit conference retreat center in Pell City, AL Owned by the Church of God, Anderson, Ind. Story behind the center- The property had built a nice quality motel and meeting facility a year before I arrived, but was only used about 20% of the available capacity. I agreedto accept as my compensation 10 percent of the total revenue the center brought in (which was $130,000 at the time I was hired). At the end of my first year revenue grew to $370,000 and $650,000 the second year for a 400% increase in revenue over two years. My Accomplishments  Launched Strategic Marketing plan that included;direct mail,new marketing personnel, registrationsoftware, and proactively visiting potential user groups, resulting in a 400% increase in revenue over two years.  Reorganized & Streamlined the guest registration systems, food service department, housekeeping,maintenance and marketing operations.  Satellite Food Service – I converted the youth camp kitchen into a warm-up satellite kitchen where all the meals were prepared at the conference center kitchenand transported across the lake to the youth camp kitchen, then served. This saved $29,000.00 in annual labor costs.  Guest Service Orientation- I started having weekly meetingsto talk about how to improve our customer service. As a result the team implemented several ideas that helped us achieve a very high guest return rate of 87% from 1992 to 1993 (Disney World has a guest return rate of 70%).  Positive Margin – Chula Vista had not experienced a positive cash margin for about ten years prior to my arrival. Both years I was there, thenexperienced a positive margin that was used to improve the facilities.  Renovated Cottages- Due to the increased demand for the motel accommodations,I led a group of volunteers in completely renovating twelve cottageson the youth camp side of the lake. I installed HVAC, electricity, windows, doors, wood plank paneling, and insulation. The cost of renovations was paid for by the third month of renting the cottagesand they served to provide Chula Vista with an excellent source of revenue for years into the future, approximately $240,000 per year. It was the best financial decision I had made there.  Built Pavilion- I contacted Briarwood PresbyterianChurch in Birminghamthat ran a summer day camp about switching their program to Chula Vista. They needed some things we didn’t have, so I negotiated with a board member to lend us the money to build what Briarwood needed. Briarwood signed a three year contract withChula Vista and we paid back the board member with the deposit Briarwood made. Link: http://www.campchulavista.org/
