Black In Business

When I was a boy growing up in upstate New York, the summer weekends our house was filled with Guess. My father loved to play cards and Pinochle was the game of choice. The adults taught me how to play at an early age and on occasion I would watch the games. It was a simpler time and one in which a 10 year old boy could be fascinated by a card game. Chester Miller was a chauffer for S. Wilson the Author of, “The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit.” Chester used to drink Miller High Life and Dewar’s scotch along with talk plenty of mess. My parents did not drink and my mom would frown on it but Chester was like family so his drinking was tolerated. When Chester had a good card, he could not just lay the card down, he would slap it on the table so hard, sometimes the cards would fly and Chester would shout out, “Now that’s what I’m talking about!!!”
I tell that story because that is how I met Theo, now that’s what I’m talking about is the name of Theo’s Blog. Theo and his wife were in Chicago for a business trip and Theo and I had lunch together. I had just loss out on a 40,000 dollar profit and was fired upped about it. I may have even cussed a bit but it was exciting to meet Theo in person and my misery was forgotten.
Theo is a young man, 31 years old, husband and father. He is another young black success story Theo owns his own business and has surpassed his income he had while working for the electric company. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University. Theo’s company is Trinihost Solutions. He does web housing, computer repair and IT Consulting.
The only other time I met bloggers I read in person was at SOBCon 07. I hope to participate again in 08 and want to make some of my friends, Liz Strauss , Mike Sandsone, Chris Brown and others aware of the talent of Theo. I hope to have more diversity next year and Theo is one to have on the radar screen Visit his site and I know you will return.
