In both cases, he provided medical care to affected persons. Dr. Lukcso serves on The State of Maryland's Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource Protection Program's Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council Private Sector Workgroup.

Dr. Lukcso received his medical degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook after being elected to Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society.

He has an accomplished career as a private business owner of a mechanical and general contracting company as well as a key executive for the national design-build division of Total Site Solutions/Encompass Global Technologies, a division of Encompass Service Corporation, a publicly held, $4.5 billion mechanical and electrical contractor.

Donald E. Franklin, CPA, is the Chief Executive Officer and President of The NMAS Group. He received his A.B. in accounting from Franklin and Marshall College and a certificate in International Business from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Mr. Franklin has extensive operational, financial, and executive experience, including mergers, acquisitions and dispositions.

Mr. Franklin is a member of the Branch Banking and Trust (BB&T Bank) Advisory Board Committee and holds other Board of Director positions with several mechanical and electrical contractors.

Prior to joining NMAS, he was President of Encompass National Accounts and Global Technologies, a $170 million division of Encompass Service Corporation, a $4.5 billion, publicly traded, mechanical and electrical contractor. This division emerged from Total Site Solutions, a national, design/build, fast track specialty-contractor, for mission-critical facilities, primarily focused on the exploding telecom sector. Total Site Solutions was a division of Commercial Air, Power and Cable, Inc., (Commercial Air), a mechanical and electrical service company that Mr. Franklin owned and operated for 10 years prior to its acquisition by Encompass. This uniquely positions Mr. Franklin with an integrated understanding of the building science component of buildings and their interaction with occupants.

Mr. Franklin served as the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer for Commercial Air from 1989 until its sale to Encompass in 1998. During this period, Mr. Franklin successfully reorganized the business from $7 million in revenues to over $40 million in consolidated revenues. The consolidated business units included a: mechanical equipment manufacturer’s representative company, mechanical equipment parts distribution company, mechanical service company, electrical service company, voice, power and data cabling company, and design/build construction management company. Mr. Franklin has also participated in many real estate development ventures, technology start-up companies, and various consulting activities.

Before acquiring this business, he was a senior auditor at the international accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick where he specialized in audits of large, publicly traded companies.
