Work History and Major Accomplishments

Salesperson and all around Operations Guy at Belleair Coins in Belleair Bluffs, Florida

1976- 1983

1976- 1983

Unofficial Operations Manager and Chief of Technology at The Silver Queen Inc.

On Saturdays and Sundays, Greg helped man the booth at the local Swap Meet in Tucson, Arizona with his parents selling odd and unusual African trade beads, unusual silver monies, currency and medals from Asia.

On Saturdays and on most afternoons after school, Greg helped his parents run their coin and silver jewelry store. Greg was responsible for stocking coin albums in the store. He also sorted coins and prepared them for resale by stapling them in holders and sorting them into customer accessible trays. Greg also strung beads for store stock. He also waited on in store customers to sell coins, Native American jewelry, and unusual eclectic items his father had imported from Asia.

Greg continued to work most Saturdays and afternoons after school to help with the now two companies: Belleair Coins and also The Silver Queen Inc. At Belleair Coins, Greg was promoted to a buyer of gold, silver, diamonds, numismatic coins. He received a certification from The American Numismatic Association in Colorado in their course on How to detect counterfeit altered coins. In 1980, when the Hunts cornered the market on silver and the metals rose, Greg worked full time during that summer and was one of the store's most knowledgeable and best buyers. Greg also helped figure out customer flow by coming up with the idea to hand out numbers to the store's incoming customers, since so many more customers were coming in than there were buyers at that store. Greg also went on buying calls to customers homes as well as other dealer's places of business. He had one buy for $100,000 in 1982 from a crematorium selling all their dental gold extracted from their cremated clients.

At The Silver Queen Inc. Greg was instrumental in organizing the growing inventory of estate "gently used" sterling flatware. He advocated strongly for his mother to get rid of all the wooden storage chests that the silver was kept at in favor of installing a streamlined shelving and bins system. After Greg's mother suffered a hernia from constantly lifting the heavy silver chests, Greg was given the green light to buy the shelving and bins. After that, the inventory was easy to access and locate which increased productivity in the warehouse 10 fold. When Greg was a senior in high school in the year 1983, he learned his first computer language which was Microsoft Basic. He then convinced his mother to ditch the archaic hand written error prone card file system she had used for managing the inventory pieces and instead computerize it in database. Although the computer software which was called Data Perfect was very limited and needed a lot of manual input to keep it afloat, at that time in 1983, customers were dazzled and impressed that the small company was managing its inventory on a small database. It also enabled my mother and small staff to be able to easily quote prices both in person and nationally on the phone to customers looking to add pieces of sterling flatware to their sets of silver.

1983- 1987

All Around Buyer and Salesperson for Belleair Coins, Gold & Diamonds and The Silver Queen Inc.

From 1983 to 1987 Greg attended college at St. Pete College at The Clearwater Campus and then later completed his last two years at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. During those years, Greg intentionally would schedule four of his classes to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays with one night class on Monday. This allowed Greg to still work two full days per week on Fridays and Saturdays at The Silver Queen and Belleair Coins, Gold and Diamonds. During this time Greg acted more as an all around guy pitching in wherever was needed for both buying and selling. Greg's main focus was mostly on his college activities and he was not coming up with many new innovations or general improvements to the stores at large. One of his highlights during this time, was that Greg was able to fully man by himself running the Countryside location of Belleair Coins, Gold & Diamonds. The company at this time had expanded and was in three locations: Belleair Bluffs (the original location ), Tampa and in Countryside (Clearwater.) The Countryside location was a very small coin shop operated by just a single person and when that manger would have an occasional day off on Saturdays, Greg would fill in and run that shop. Greg's combined knowledge of coins, jewelry and silverware buying and selling knowledge enabled him to successfully run and operate that entire shop autonomously and all by himself at only the age of 22.

1987- 1990

General Store Manager for

The Silver Queen Inc.

Buyer for Belleair Coins, Gold & Diamonds and The Silver Queen Inc.

Greg graduated from The University of South Florida in the year 1987. In June of that same year, Greg started working full time at Silver Queen and Belleair Coins, Gold & Diamonds. Initially, Greg thought he'd be working side by side along with his father Art Arbutine. However, Greg soon began to understand that his father was not looking for a wing man from Greg Arbutine and that there was little to no upward mobility being under the wings of his father. His dad was a good ole boy and didn't want a person working under him that potentially could eclipse his spot in the limelight.

However, unlike his dad, Greg's mom Patricia Arbutine recognized a great potential in Greg and took him on board to run The Silver Queen Inc. side of the business. Although he was not given an official title, his mom had given him the role of general manager. Greg was thrust into doing all the marketing, buying and managing of the staff as well as pursuing his goal of upgrading the store's IT infrastructure. Greg's mom offered Greg an incentive and gave him sales goal amount to reach of $1,000,000 per year for the silverware. If he achieved this goal, he'd be made the CEO and President of the The Silver Queen Inc. At that time, the silverware sales were only $250,000 per year annually.

1990- 2022

CEO of The Silver Queen Inc. and Vice President of Belleair Coins, Gold & Diamonds

In 1990, Greg Arbutine was made the CEO of The Silver Queen Inc. He had reached the sales goal of $1,000,000 in just three years. Greg's mom made good on her bargain and stepped back and allowed Greg to fully run the business while she traveled more and pursued more personal pursuits with her grand children and other activities.

In the first 12 years as CEO, Greg continued to grow the business leaps and bounds. He marketed The Silver Queen nationally by advertising in newspapers across the country as well as advertising in major magazines like Southern Living, House Beautiful, Martha Stewart Living and many others.

Greg also continued to add IT infrastructure and he personally continued to program the point of sale and purchase software for the store as well as laid the groundwork for the internet web sites and Ebay store.

During this period Greg would come to work at 8:30am in the morning and stay till 6:30pm at night Mondays through Fridays and also work a full day from 9:00am to 5pm on Saturdays. Even when Greg was not working physically in the store, his brain was always abuzz with new ideas and he basically was always mentally working for the store 24/7.

As a result of all of Greg's hard work sales leaped from $1,000,000 per yer to a staggering $7,000,000 per year by the 2000. The inventory had jumped from 25,000 pieces of sterling silver to 150,000 pieces and the company had to expand from its tiny 1,800 square foot building into an array of adjacent spaces (some rented and some owned) that totaled to about 6,500 square feet.

There was now a need for further expansion and Greg and his husband Alan started to ponder the idea of finding a new location with one building that could accommodate all the growth of The Silver Queen as well as give both The Silver Queen a better local showroom along with The Belleair Coins, Gold and Diamond side of the business a bigger and better jewelry store and larger capacity to buy more more gold. Just adding more parking alone would be a big step as there was an increasing problem with no where for customers to park - especially when there was a gold rush.

In 1998, a property was purchased directly across the street from the main store location on Indian Rocks Road. The intent was to build the new building there and then move in. Unfortunately, there were some variances needed and the local residents were not very receptive. The project had to be abandoned. The small 1,500 square foot building on that property was kept by the companies for additional warehouse space.

After licking the wounds from the failed attempt. Another was made a couple of years later in the year 2000. Greg was driving down West Bay Drive and saw a for sale sign newly displayed at an old AmSouth Bank Building. Greg and his husband pounced on it and purchased the building - beating out the doctors groups that had also been working on putting in. a bid for it.

The existing bank was 7,000 square feet and it was decided that the building would expand another 7,500 square feet. Greg's husband Alan became the developer and project manager of the new build.

It took two hard years of work by both Greg and Alan, but eventually by November 1st of 2002 the building received its certificate of occupancy and the big move from the Indian Rocks Road properties commenced. The new store was ready just in the nick of time for the busier holiday season.

Belleair Coins, Gold and Diamonds

After the new move, there was an almost instantaneous bump up in sales and purchases at the two departments in Belleair Coins, Gold & Diamonds. The jewelry department quadrupled its sales in the first 2 years from $400,000 in the old store to $1,600,000 in the new store. The coins and bullion department increased its sales from $4,000,000 per year to $16,000,000 within 2 years. Greg's brothers Chris and Jay certainly played a huge role in corralling in the growth, but it would not had happened had it not been for the re-location of the store into the new much larger building.

The Silver Queen

Ironically, The Silver Queen portion of the overall business which had done 7 million annually in the previous location and which had been the catalyst for the move in the first place saw sales dip. Greg had projected it to do 10-12 million, but with the advent of Ebay, increased on-line competition, and a continued down trend from formal dining these factors all weighed in heavily in the retrenchment. The sales slid down to $3,000,000 per year annually.

The move to the new building had been a success, but unfortunately for Greg's particular department of Sterling Silver (which had once led the companies) the change in business environment was difficult.

Greg was forced to make some changes in his job duties and responsibilities as well as implement some retrenchment action steps in order to compensate. He had to downsize the call center which was now being slowly replaced by the company's sizable on-line e-commerce order as well as its growing Ebay store. Greg also greatly diversified his duties and greatly expanded doing both work for not only the Silver Queen Sterling Silver side of the business but by taking on most of the marketing for The Jewelry Department as well as the Coins and Bullion Department.

To Greg's credit, he was able to eventually stabilize the The Silver Queen Sterling Flatware side of the business by taking over the web site work himself and increasing the SEO of the entire company so that traditional advertising was no longer needed. The Silver Queen sales stabilized to $3,000,000 gross sales per year with an average cost of goods of $1,500,000 - which left a good margin for potential net profit.

Greg also took on doing all the 6 annual jewelry flyers and web site development for the jewelry department which led the sales to go up to $2,000,000 per year consistently. He also did all the social media for jewelry as well.

Greg was also key with the coins and bullion department by bringing all the search terms on Google to #1 for coins, bullion, bars etc. etc. He also helped pioneer coin retail for the store and helped that department ramp up its security. Greg turned the place into Fort Knox.

The results of the move had not been how Greg had planned. However, it all still worked out as a hugely big net positive as an aggregate for the companies as a whole combined. Two of the three main departments of the companies: The Jewelry Department and The Coins & Bullion Department had received windfalls of great magnitude which more than offset the eventually slide of the Sterling Silver Department. "Life has a funny way about things sometimes," Greg recollected to himself later on.

Unfortunately, Greg's two brothers didn't want to see it this way and wanted to credit themselves with all the credit and reward that went along with the massive explosion of sales and profits as as result of the new building and as the result of Greg's re-positioning of his duties and responsibilities towards the company as a whole. They didn't want to credit the new building which Greg and his husband had made happen with any contribution to the new successes nor did they want to credit Greg with his increased amount of duties he now did for the Jewelry Department as well as The Coins and Bullion Department.

There was also a huge gold rush from the year 2008-2013 which also had propelled the sales of the coins and bullion department to a staggering $100,000,000 in one single year. This again would not had been achievable had the company stayed in Belleair Bluffs at its much smaller facility that had very limited parking. This additional explosion of sales made Greg's two brothers even more arrogant and entitled and they soon began to abuse their new found power within the companies.

Things began to happen that Greg become suspicious about. Greg was making a good salary, but the other two boys were starting to live very extravagant lifestyles with dining out many nights of the week at very expensive restaurants taking along large groups of family and friends. Their children and spouses also started to drive very expensive cars and dressing like princes and princesses.

Despite the huge sales surges, the companies were not showing good profits. The profits were only showing in the half of a percent range. How could sales go up so dramatically, yet profits were abysmal? Greg's husband Alan who had an MBA from Emory started raising concerns to Greg about how something was off. Greg agreed.

The spike in metals eventually subsided, but the sales of the coins and bullion department still stuck at around an average of $25,000,000 per year. Greg continued to work dutifully and kept wearing the many many hats he held in the business. All of which he was doing a stellar job.

Unfortunately, Greg's brothers thought differently and thought that he was overcompensated and not producing enough for the companies. On top of this, Greg was starting to be on the receiving end of a multi-year series of hostile takeover attacks from the two brothers. The attacks escalated as Greg become started to discover the truth of the business partnership in that it was not one of honesty or integrity.

In year 2017, Greg sought out a lawyer to see what options there were with regards to the suspected wrongdoings in the partnership. Although the partnership agreement provided an out clause for a partner to leave, it was effectively a poor man's buy out of only a fraction of the real worth of the business.

Greg didn't want to be bullied out of what he had worked so hard to build and had spent the past 34 years working 6 days a week for 60 hours a week in store as well as 24/7 in his mind almost always thinking about the next steps for the business.

In 2018, one the three partners was ejected from the partnership due to cause, Greg's brother Jayson. The two remaining brothers left were Greg and his middle brother Chris.

Greg's brother Chris didn't respect anything that Greg had done in the past for the companies nor did he think Greg was relevant for the business currently and for the future.

In year 2021 a kind banker came in and offered the two brothers a buy out loan to allow Greg to move on and exit the business. Greg said yes, and at the very end of year 2021 Greg was no longer an owner of the business.

Greg stayed on for an extra year in 2022 to train his successors. It ended up being a mixed bag. Greg was very successful at the training and mentoring, but unfortunately things didn't go very smoothy when some of the once loyal staff members to Greg started to participate in brother Chris's ongoing attacks against Greg. It was basically a shit show in the year 2022 for Greg, but he stuck it out and finished the year and the mission was accomplished for passing on his keys to the kingdom to his successors.
