MY BUSINESSES & VENTURES

VIC-VINCENT GAME COMPANY: On the verge of filing chapter 7 Victor had a dream about making something good out of something bad. He awoke went down to his kitchen table and with just the utensils in his home drew out BANKRUPTCY! The Boardgame and within 90 days produced this product and made it to market! The Decision Maker was made from a toy gun taken from the game and sent out to retail company buyers as a gift. Well this gift caught on and he started filling orders for companies like Spencer Gifts. The Sitcky Ticky was a toy that children stuck to thier face that looked like a tick! All sold under this company.

VIC-VINCENT ENTERTAINMENT: Created to promote and organize recording artists, performers and local bands.During a marketing venture with The World Famous Trader Jon's nightclub, Victor was serving up drinks while listening to what he thought was the radio. The music kept starting and stopping so he ventured into the next room to change the channel. What he found out was, it wasn't the radio at all but a guy playing his guitar and singing. He struck up a conversation, soon became friends and learned out he was a top ten singer from the early 60's to 70's who went blind and quit the circuit. Victor made a few phone calls and soon the two were off on a major concert tour. Singing to thousands of concert goers throughout the U.S.. Several of these top 10 songs can be heard in the movies: Blues Brothers, Meet The Parents and Soul Men.

HOMES FOR SALE BY VIDEO: Victor was the creator of a homes for sale business using one of the first portable camcorders introduced from Japan to the U.S.. He located this business in the middle of real estate row and sold property without a license under the legal guise of advertising homes, selling for a fee and not a percentage. "Believe me it made a lot of real estate professionals mad. But you know what, they soon saw the potential to selling homes by video and started doing it themselves. As you know, we can now look and buy homes on our computers".

AMERICAN VIDEO PRODUCTIONS: Rented and created video productions for the public. Was also one of the first to video-graph children for safety. Spun off from "Homes For sale by Video".

COMPUTER DESIGN SWIMWEAR: "This was one of the most innovative companies I worked with. I combined a 1 hour custom swimsuit business with 2 other fashion/salons. A woman could come in and get her custom swimsuit fitted by standing in front of a camera which would take a picture, send it to a computer and formulate her measurements almost perfectly. Then she could pick from many different fabrics from lycra to leather. Pick her style Brazilian cut, French cut, etc..  The seamstress would then take the measurements and in 1 hour have a bathing suit that fit within 1/100th of an inch. While she waited on the seamstress, the customer could get a tan and a manicure."

SOLAR POWER CORPORATION: A corporation formed to sell energy efficiency vehicles where I was involved in marketing and sales.  I sold one of the first solar/electric cars in the U.S..

ACCESS INTERNATIONAL: Co-created an international sales company selling a variety of products nationally and internationally.

"Not only did the bike have a menacing look, it also had a voice recorded message system using Arnold's voice that when pushed would say; "Asta La Vista Baby!"

ALIEN FACE MASKS: The creator was on Unsolved Mysteries. "I marketed these masks and negotiated the sale of the rights to these masks to an outside buyer. After the deal was finalized; I was given a gold watch with a U F O emblem embedded in the watch face."
