Exhibit 31.1

         I, James R. Smith, as principal executive officer of the Company,
certify that:

1.       I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Cedar Mountain
         Distributors, Inc.;

2.       Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
         necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
         under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
         the period covered by this quarterly report;

3.       Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information included in this report, fairly present in all material
         respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
         of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.       The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I are
         responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
         procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
         and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange
         Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the small business issuer and
         have:

         a.       Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
                  such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                  our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
                  to the small business issuer registrant, including its
                  consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
                  within those entities, particularly during the period in which
                  this report is being prepared;

         b.       Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
                  cause such internal control over financial reporting to be
                  designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
                  assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
                  the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
                  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

         c.       Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's
                  disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this
                  report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the
                  disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
                  period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

         d.       Disclosed in this report any change in the small business
                  issuer's internal control over financial reporting that
                  occurred during the small business issuer's most recent fiscal
                  quarter (the small business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in
                  the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or
                  is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
                  issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.       The small business issuer's other certifying officer(s) and I have
         disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
         financial reporting, to the small business issuer's auditors and the
         audit committee of the small business issuer's board of directors (or
         persons performing the equivalent functions):

         a.       All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                  design or operation of internal controls over financial
                  reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
                  small business issuer's ability to record, process, summarize
                  and report financial information; and

         b.       Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                  or other employees who have a significant role in the small
                  business issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
