This experienced marketing professional is exactly what is needed to make Havoc available throughout the USA. Their product is outstanding and the marketing plan, contracting with college and professional sports teams for labels on the can, cannot lose. Watch for the distribution network to grow rapidly and the Havoc energy drink to consume market share! FYI the stock symbol is AEND not AEDC.
