EXHIBIT 31.0

              CERTIFICATION OF THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND
                           PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER
            PURSUANT TO SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Daniel J. Dorman, certify that:

1.    I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Sandston
      Corporation;

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 quarterly report fairly present in all
      material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
      flows of Sandston Corporation as of, and for, the periods presented in
      this quarterly report;

4.    I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
      procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
      internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
      Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for Sandston Corporation and have:

      a)    designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
            disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my
            supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
            small business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
            made known 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 caused
            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.

5.    I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control
      over financial reporting, to Sandston Corporation's auditors and the audit
      committee of the Sandston Corporation's board of directors:

      a)    all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
            controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
            adversely affect Sandston Corporation'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 Sandston
            Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting.
