- Jim_Trakas abstract "James Peter Trakas (born May 5, 1965, Cleveland, Ohio) is the Chief Executive Officer of American Online Learning Center, a behavioral corrective educational firm providing services with Courts, and other institutions and former Executive Director of The Ohio State Board of Cosmetology and a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives, and was the Republican nominee for the United States House of Representatives in Ohio's 10th congressional district in 2008. Previous to his public service, Trakas worked for Allied Color Industries, Inc. in Broadview Hts., Ohio in various positions, including Corporate Materials Manager. He is married to Anne Marie (Kennedy) Trakas and resides in Independence, Ohio.Trakas founded the firm after he was asked to resign by Kasich Administration Officials as the Executive Director of The Ohio State Board of Cosmetology on August 13, 2013, the same day the state's inspector general issued a report that found that Trakas improperly involved himself in disciplinary action against a central Ohio salon, and told the owners he could make a fine \"go away\" if they would not terminate a female employee. The report said that Trakas did not violate any laws or rules of the state, and asked the Board of Cosmetology to determine an appropriate sanction. The Board had previously been made aware of the incident and chosen not to act at its July, 2012 Board Meeting. The salon in question had fired an independent contractor stylist in retaliation for her mother having asked for an investigation into improper venting of fumes at the salon. Trakas felt that this was a retaliatory measure and worked to defend the integrity of the Board's investigatory process believing it unfair to fire the woman over a referral to the state agency for investigation. The inspector general's report stated that \"[Trakas's] actions in this matter were not in accordance with standards of proper governmental conduct as are commonly accepted.\" Trakas is the third high profile appointee/nominee of Governor John Kasich who has had to resign from his appointment due to improper actions. http://watchdog.ohio.gov/Investigations/2013Investigations.aspxTrakas is a 1987 graduate of The Ohio State University where he earned a B.A. in Social and Behavioral Sciences. He graduated from Independence High School in Independence, Ohio in 1983, and also pursued continuing education at The University of Akron's Polymer Institute while working for Allied Color. In 1991, Trakas was elected to the Independence City Council, where he served two terms. In 1996 Trakas was elected chairman of the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County where he served until 2005.In 1998, Trakas was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives representing the 15th district, later renumbered the 17th district, where he served until 2007. As State Representative Trakas served two terms as House Majority Whip, and was a member of the Finance and Appropriations Committee. During Trakas' tenure, he was awarded numerous awards by civic and ethnic organizations, abolished the state's electric chair, and was the Legislative father of Ohio's high technology jobs initiative, and focused on economic development and educational issues, particularly supporting suburban and high producing school districts and academic excellence. A champion of higher education, Trakas' work led to regional collaborations between colleges and universities, helping to lower costs through his sponsorship of the Northern Ohio Higher Educational Collaboration Initiative. All told, he authored 14 bills into Ohio law, including the jobs producing Third Frontier Program.Jim Trakas was the Republican nominee for the United States House of Representatives in Ohio's 10th congressional district, unsuccessfully challenging incumbent Democrat Dennis Kucinich. His 110,000 votes was the most of any Republican challenger to Kucinich, the former Cleveland mayor. He was named executive director of the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology on January 24, 2011, and led the agency in offering its own test to state licensees, saving 10% of the agency budget, a task that was recognized in 2012 with the \"Governor's Award for Employee Excellence\" by Ohio Governor John R. Kasich.".
