Hey Brooklyn,
Welcome to our forum (I was born in Brooklyn).
FYI, when Gail and I began Spyderco, we were homeless, living in a 1955 International step van (with our 2 yr old daughter) that was a bread delivery truck that we converted to a motor home. We towed a VW beetle behind the truck with our equipment. We built our product in campgrounds and sold them in local fairs and show. America is a great country.

Your right. This is a great country. It’s inspiring to a younger guy. I’m not homeless, as I just bought a house this year (or the right to pay for it and pay taxes, as the case may be). I’m above the lower, but far below the upper, where money gets tight. But I have a unique opportunity in front of me to own my own business. Just in the beginning stages of discussion, but hearing reminders like this is encouraging. Leaving the comfort of a some what steady income can be a little intimidating, even though I’m 100% commission based. Thanx, Sal.
