People and Businesses that I Recommend
These recommendations are based upon people that I have meet repeatedly and who have discussed their business and philosophy with me. Many times I am user of their products and services and have indicated so when that is the case.
| Chimney Sweep | |

| It's not often you need one, but when the smoke backs up into your living room, Gene is the guy to call. | |
| Cleaning | |
| Nick Souza - Specialty Cleaning (352)246-4783 specialtyfl@gmail.com | |

| Financial Advisers | |
| Karen Harvey, CRPC Ameriprise Financial (352)331-0313 karen.m.harvey@ampf.com | |
| It's not often that I recommend financial advisers do to my poor experience with stock brokers and the like. Karen is the rare exception. I have spoken with her on several occasions about her investment theories and philosophy and have always been impressed. Like all of those who forecast the future, she can't guarantee you success, but she strikes me as highly competent and honest. | |
| Insurance - Personal | |
| Victor Hazy, Insurance World (352)377-7283 http://www.insuranceworldofgainesville | |
| I was one of the many that had my home insurance policy cancelled some years back. Finding an insurance company willing to business in Florida became a real chore and a lot more expensive. After I had given up hope, my wife went to Victor and low and behold he not only got us back in the world of the insured, but at a lower rate as well. | |
| Larry Hartfield - Hartfield Insurance Group (352)870-9575 larry@hartfieldinsgroup.com http://www.hartfieldinsgroup.com | |

| Public Speaking | |
| Toastmasters http://www.toastmastersd84.org/divG.html | |
| There are Toastmasters Clubs located around the world dedicated to helping people get over their fear of speaking in front of a group of people. If you are a business owner who has the very natural fear of standing in front of a mob and talking to them to persuade, this is a great group to practice with. | |

| If you need electronic security, Jon is your guy. He and his Company can install the equipment or convert your current equipment into a more effective system.

| Staffing | |
| Stephen Wycoff - Remedy Staffing (352)672-6080 stephenw@remedystaff.com http://www.remedystaff.com | |
| Stephen offers a unique approach to the job brokering business which is video interviews. HR people like this because they get a chance to see an interview before they spend any money recruiting them. This may sound like a bad idea for a job searcher, but it is actually one that gives them a power advantage. They get to practice their initial interview numerous times until they get it right. If you want the opportunity to make the best first impression, Stephen is the guy to see. | |
