Denny Shaw Introduction

     Denny Shaw was introduced to me by Doug Jackson as a new member of the advisory counsel for Doug’s business center. Denny was the President and CEO of Pacific Ship Repair Facility here in San Diego, and a very strong leader and excellent thinker.

     He had a fascinating background  going back to Washington D.C. where he served as the undersecretary of the Defense Department and the Navy Department as well. His wife Misty had been in the Army finally retiring as a Major after 22 years. They have two boys and a girl, and Denny is now an adjunct professor at Point Loma Nazarene University.

     Denny was a tremendous CEO with Pacific Ship Repair  and accomplished a major corporate turnaround with his MBO style of management. As a matter of fact, it was my pleasure to serve as a consultant to him and the company for the majority of a year before he had the courage of his convictions to resign. Denny’s willingness to be transparent has always been one of his greatest attributes, and this chapter certainly reflects that fact.
