After selling my boat manufacturing company in 1973, I entered the business of executive search as an associate with the Encino, California office of Management Recruiters. Two years later, I became Vice President, General Manager of Paul Norsell & Associates, Los Angeles, a position held until 1979, when I became president of Westlake Group, Inc., Westlake Village, California. Four years and two spin-off specialty search firms later, in 1983, I began working in search as a lone eagle. Moving to Colorado in 1984, I continued on my own until 1994, at which time I started Woodmoor Group, Inc. 

Woodmoor Group has grown quickly from a one-person operation to a corporation with offices that span the United States. Since our humble beginnings we have expanded our office many times over - we're also on our fifth computer system! All of this has led to the distinction of being the largest search firm in Colorado, and also launched us into the top 1% of all search firms nationally. At this point, Woodmoor Group serves client companies in Colorado and throughout the United States - and the world. We have been fortunate to count some of the very best companies - from $3 million in annual sales, to $150 billion - among our clients.

"I believe that our success as a firm is due to the ideal expressed with our mission statement: 'Extraordinary Candidates...Extraordinary Companies.' These words are translated into action through our ' 10 Points on Methods and Procedures '. This is our promise, our pride and our passion."
Ray Bedingfield , President
