TULSA, Okla., Feb. 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Global Beverage Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:GBVS) announced today that Rear Adm. Kevin F. Delaney, retired, U.S. Navy, has been engaged as a product representative for two of its portfolio companies, Rudy Beverage Group, Inc. and EON Beverage Group, Inc.
"We are pleased to have Admiral Delaney represent EON Water and the Rudy Beverage line," stated Rick Clark, CEO of Global Beverage Solutions, Inc. "We look forward to his energizing presence as part of our sales team."
After 34 years of service in United States Navy, Admiral Delaney retired in 1998 as commanding officer of Naval Base Jacksonville, which oversees all naval operations in Jacksonville, Florida, as well as stations in eight southeastern states and the Caribbean. A Vietnam veteran, he flew nearly 700 combat missions in Southeast Asia. His 98 awards and decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, the U.S. Navy's highest peacetime award.
Admiral Delaney's years of command made him keenly aware of the health needs of U.S. military personnel. According to Delaney, "Rudy Beverages, lower in calories and fortified with vitamins, are a win-win deal for our troops. It is very important to keep our military personnel fit and healthy. I believe that Rudy Beverages and Eon Water are healthy alternatives to other products on the market. Their superior hydrating capability is especially relevant to personnel in the Middle East. The inclusion of Xylitol, a sugar substitute effective in preventing tooth decay, helps prevent "dry mouth" by naturally promoting the production of saliva."
Admiral Delaney is CEO of Delaney & Associates Consulting, specializing in a full range of government business opportunities, particularly for start-up companies and emerging technologies. He currently serves as co-spokesmen with William Shatner for the nationally syndicated series, "Keeping America Strong," for Heartbeat of America, Inc.
A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and the Armed Forces Staff College, Delaney earned a master's degree in business from George Washington University. He completed advanced postgraduate studies at MIT and Harvard and served as a Federal Executive Fellow at the Brookings Institute.
