Bio
David Charles
I reported to Dominic during the time he was the CFO with Soaring Eagle Gaming. I enjoyed working with him and respect him as both a boss and executive. He was always looking to improve and he cared about his team. Beyond being great with numbers, he always saw the bigger picture. I was sad to see him go, but it makes sense for someone with his capabilities and vision to be a CEO.

It has been an absolute pleasure working alongside of Dominic and assisting him in bringing, his vision, of player development to Kickapoo Lucky Eagle casino. Although having a full plate of CFO duties, overseeing bingo & poker, and managing the cage, Dominic recognized the need and value in having a player development department and is currently reaping its rewards. He is responsible for growth in revenue in these departments and protecting the ROI. Dominic is experienced in many aspects of the casino industry and brings great analytical, tactical, financial and operational procedures to the table. Not to mention his esteem educational background. Mr. Ortiz displays strong leadership and organizational skills as well as being able to humble himself and sit in the student seat. He is the true definition of a gentlemen and a scholar.
