O'Sullivan's latest venture is called JumpStart International. JumpStart designs and builds housing developments and rebuilds Iraqi homes one house at a time--sort of like Habitat for Humanity--all with Iraqi labor.
At its peak, JumpStart had 3,500 employees clearing more than 500 destroyed buildings and rebuilding homes at 80 sites.
