I worked as a cook in a pizza/italian joint when classes were in session, and mowed lawns during summer to get me through college. It was my source of food. I also had two other part time jobs during summers doing electronics assembly. One for a company that made computer battery backups for the military, and the company I work for today. I also designed and installed home theater systems in upscale homes, a couple of restaurants and a bank. I installed the sound system in the restaurant I worked as a cook later in. The systems I installed had volume controls for each room and they rocked. One restaurant even made a big deal about their sound system with a write up on the back of the menu.

I made this cool portable speaker box for the food prep area in the pizza restaurant that also fit neatly behind the seat in a pickup truck. It was so the people working in the prep area could rock out without disturbing the eating area, sounded fantastic. This guy came in and bought that portable speaker from the restaurant owner. The guy had a speaker company and stereo store called Stillwater Designs. He copied my speaker and sold it as The Kicker. Now that company is called Kicker. Tried to get a job working for the guy after doing the stereo install and before working as a cook at the restaurant and the bun head wouldn't hire me. Even after he bought my speaker. He deserved a....Boot To The Head.
