| How Did you Get Started? |
|
| I was hired by a Venture Capital funded company in Orange
County California in September 2005. It had taken them 10 years to
get thier sales volume to $160,ooo per week. Once on board I took
their sales volume to $1,000,000.00 per week in just under 120 days.
Their board of directord was shocked! But the health insurance
plan for the company came up for renewal. When they completed the
census information to renew, I opted out because I was covered by
Medicare / MediCal but I did take coverage for my wife. The carrier
subsequently raised the rates by $75,000 per year because of my
disabilty for the entire group even though I was not insured. The
board then told the CEO to fire me. The mistake they mades was that
someone put this in an e-mail to me.
I then hired an attorney and won in court against them, and then
started my own business. |

| How does your disability affect or impact your
business? |
| The greatest difficulty is the lifestyle and the pain
issues. I cannot work like the average person so I have to work around
it. |
