Newly elected City Auditor's qualifications

[Tora]

  I hope that someone might have some information about Mr. Doerflinger's companies and could post it here.
  Since Mr. Doerflinger has stated that his successful business and managerial experience is reason why he is superior to Mr. Wood, I am most interested in the names of his companies, the number of employees in these companies, the physical addresses of these companies, the number of years these companies have been in existence, and naturally the fields in which these companies operate.
  The only information that seems to be available is that which Mr. Doerflinger himself has stated and has been quoted in various news sources.

The office of the auditor in Tulsa is merely a figurehead office.  The unions, head of Public Works, and Trusts/Authorities instruct their subjects to answer only with "name, rank and serial number on their check.  An Auditor need very little qualifications as they have a secretary to write that all down in the ledger.

In an ariticle entitled "Doerflinger is ready to serve Tulsa" in the Tulsa Beacon he said one of his companies was going to do $100 million in revenue this year.

Somebody has to know where that $100 million company is and who works there, don't you think?

Get over it.....

Tora...I agree with Breadburner here....get over it, he won, nothings going to change that.  Hopefully he will do a much more thorough job as auditor than Phil Woods did this last year, thumbing his nose at Councilos when he received marching orders to investigate the TFD records falsification.  An auditor is supposed to look out for the best interests of the citizens over their local government...he failed.

doing a little searching, this is what I have found so far.

The link above shows he is the President of a Medical sales company based out of Catoosa named respiratory solutions.  It says he has 1-4 employees with annual sales of 1-2 million.  How accurate that info is, is beyond me.  But thats all I can come up with.

Much appreciated!  Since it seems to have been established that he is a registered respiratoy therapist the existence of a business called Respiratory Solutions seems plausible.  That there are between 1 and 4 people working there also seems plausible since he would account for at least 1.

He has stated (recently on KOTV) that he has numerous businesses and performs audits for those businesses therefore he is qualified to be City Auditor.  That it seems, we have located one is encouraging but one does not qualify as numerous.  He is the newly elected City Auditor.  I think we are entitled as Tulsans to verify the accuracy of his statements, especially those relating to his qualifications for office.

I believe he has sold some businesses as well. He doesn't get loans or investors and operates his businesses on a cash basis (an Accountant's dream) so my guess is he has likely sold old companies to start up bigger ones.

I am supposed to meet with him sometime soon and can ask if you want.

If you have the opportunity to ask him, that would be wonderful.  He should surely be able to tell you names and pertinent details of his businesses past and present.  I don't know any businessmen who aren't more than happy to talk about their accomplishments.  Thank you!

Looks like Preston has a heavy foot in his past:

Most recent is from Rogers County in 2003.  I guess his lead foot lightened up, but we don't have access on-line to City of Tulsa and any other municipality's court records.

Looks like no serious business court cases.

Here is all I could find from the Okla. Sec. of State:

P.L.D. Management Inc. , that company has been cited by several news sources as one of Mr. Doerflinger's successful businesses but there are never any details about the company.  

It is strange that this information shows the location as Claremore since 74133 is a Tulsa zip code.

According to the information from the Huffington Post, Preston Doerflinger made a contribution to the Bush campaign giving 7015 E 82 Pl, Tulsa as an address.  Since that is a residential area, I suspect it is where he lived at the time.

In 2008 it appears he made a contribution to the McCain campaign giving 7915 S Fulton Ave, Tulsa as an address. This is also a residential area and probably a more recent residence.

If either of these residential addresses are also the addresses of PLD Management Inc. it is likely that PLD Management Inc. is a home business and hardly requires the kind of auditing and business expertise that Mr. Doerflinger is said to possess.

The Huffington contribution information also list a company called NH Investments Inc at the same 7915 S Fulton Ave address.  Perhaps another home business.
I just don't think that most Tulsans, when they were told Mr. Doerflinger was a successful business entrepeneur, envisioned that the businesses were little more than home businesses.

My voter data base information indicates that Preston has been a registered voter in Oklahoma since 8/19/04 and that he is currently registered at the 7915 S. Fulton address.  He has been an active voter since he registered, voting in almost every election.

Is that database still public and up on the web?   If so, can you provide the link?

I believe he lived in Rogers County previously. The registration date would indicate when he re-registered in Tulsa County.
