I was born in Brooklyn, NY and moved to long Island when I was 12. My dad was a builder and I was a very large 12 year old. Dad stuck a hammer in my hand and although I never use it anymore, symbolically, it is still there.
By the late '70s I was a small contractor in Suffolk County on Long Island. On Thanksgiving Day 1979, I had a rather severe house fire. Of course, I repaired the house myself. But instead of moving back in, my family and I chose to move to Florida. On February 1st 1980 we left New York, bag and baggage, for my brother’s house in Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida.
I immediately went back to the only thing I knew - construction.
In 1983 I was introduced to Haydon Cameron. Haydon was a distributor for the original Cambridge Diet which, at the time, was a lucrative network marketing business. I needed to lose a few pounds…. I lost 75 pounds in a very short time. I was hooked on the product and on the concept of network marketing. Unfortunately, Cambridge filed chapter 11 bankruptcy a year or so later, leaving all of us “Cambridge Counselors “ without a business. Haydon went his way and I mine, but we remained close friends.
I, of course, went back to the only thing I knew - construction.
Fast forward to August, 2009. Haydon again has brought me back to the world of network marketing. This time, there is no chance of a chapter 11 for this company, The Trump Network, is owned by Donald Trump.
