Alex M. Chaves Jr., Chief Executive Officer

Alex Martin Chaves has worked in the parking, fleet and transportation industry his entire professional life. His expertise in developing parking, fleet and transportation service companies is the strength he possesses to lead the PCAM group of entities today. Under his leadership, PCAM has embarked on an aggressive and profitable program of developing new parking locations nationwide, securing transportation accounts, and acquiring established parking service and vehicle maintenance companies.

He entered the family business during high school working weekends as a Site Manager at locations in Los Angeles and San Francisco and started a valet parking company during his college years securing a contract with a popular restaurant in Marina Del Rey, California. By the late 1980s, he facilitated impressive growth with his parking service company, 100% in three consecutive years, by employing a full-time professional sales force and by the acquisition of an established valet parking company in Southern California. Clients currently include Hilton, Hyatt, and Sutton Place Hotels, several premier office buildings, upscale restaurants, hospitals and country clubs in California and elsewhere.

In 1995, Mr. Chaves started PCAM's Transportation Division, which includes shuttle services for fixed-route continuous service, demand-response commuting service, and ADA certified transportation service of hospital patients and the disabled. Since then, Mr. Chaves has devoted much effort to acquire and develop over 250 acres of off-airport parking properties and related enterprises nationwide. He was particularly instrumental in securing private and institutional lending to purchase real estate for new parking developments, existing facilities for reorganization, and an established fleet service company which maintained fleet vehicle contacts in and around Los Angeles County.

During the past several years, he has guided the Company to another level of unprecedented growth. From off-airport locations across the United States, he envisions continued expansion in those markets of every other division in the company: parking management, transportation, and fleet services.

Mr. Chaves is a graduate of Loyola-Marymount University of Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Currently he is a member of the LMU Board of Regents and an active member of the University's Mexican American Alumni Association where he serves as President. Additionally, Mr. Chaves is a Board member of the East Los Angeles YMCA and a Board Member and previous Chapter Chairman of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO) San Gabriel Valley Chapter, a prestigious international professional organization recognizing the accomplishments of company presidents and chief executive officers before age 40.
