Re:  Debarment Notice, FCC Case No. EB-IHD-14-00015659
Dear Mr. Freeman:
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) hereby notifies you that, pursuant to 
Section 54.8 of its rules, you are prohibited from participating in activities associated with or relating to 
the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism (E-Rate program) for three years from 
either the date of your receipt of this Notice of Debarment or of its publication in the Federal Register, 
whichever is earlier in time (Debarment Date).

On August 26, 2014, the Commission’s Enforcement Bureau sent you a Notice of Suspension and 
Initiation of Debarment Proceedings that was published in the Federal Register on September 12, 2014.

That Suspension Notice suspended you from participating in activities associated with or relating to the
E-Rate program.  It also described the basis for initiating debarment proceedings against you, the 
applicable debarment procedures, and the effect of debarment.
As discussed in the Suspension Notice, on March 17, 2011, you were convicted of conspiring 
with Gregory Paul Styles, the Management Information Systems Director for the Chowchilla Elementary 
School District (CESD), to obstruct the competitive bidding process and defraud the E-Rate program of 
approximately $788,000.

You and Mr. Styles used your silk screening company, Twisted Head Design,
to bid on CESD’s E-Rate contracts.
4
  Mr. Styles awarded E-Rate contracts to Twisted Head Design 
knowing you and the company were unqualified to perform E-Rate work, performed the work himself or 
through his subcontractors, and billed USAC for that work.

  Pursuant to Section 54.8(c) of the
