I own four businesses, and do two of them seriously. Big Willy's "Lip Smak'n Salsa" and "Nonna's Cucina" an Italian Bistro/sandwich shop. I own the old "Alvin Ords" sandwich shops name, of yore.
I used to be in the Telecom./Computer Engineering world (Consulted under my other business name "Osmar & Associates" for the past 23 years. So I can tell you a lot about past technology...none of which is useful now.
I have a 3rd Dan in Chinese "Teoul-Moon" Kung Fu and am a certified intructor. I teach cooking classes, played Drums, can play guitar and bass for the past 28 years, Brew my own beer, build one-of-a-kind guitars (Luthier under the name "Oz Custom Guitars") Made one for Joe Perry of Aerosmith.
Built and learned a lot doing my cobra and can talk your ear off if you let me. All of this...hence the name (not given BY Me to me!) "Renaissance Man" or "Ren Man" as most of you know me.
We (at Big Willy's) were just contacted by "Great Buys TV" (kind of like a QVC) in Florida that is hosted by Corbin Burnsen of L.A. Law to come to Florida and do a shoot to sell Big Willy's on their show in November/December. So, when that hits it big and Nonna's Cucina gets into the 6-figures, I'll be calling Steve Parks to build my new home!
I hope that you guys will come and see my at the restaurant for a TCC meet one Saturday. Sunday is my only day off. I'd love to host an event ! Call me at 512/863-3442. I can accommodate 60 people...currently!
Ciao for now,
