Super Fun!

I wanted to share this article with my friends/family here on the forum. We don't share much about ourselves outside of our Vetter world. I try to inject here and there, who I am and what I am like outside of the forum, but unlike Facebook and other social media platforms, I don't actually share much personal world stuff here. To me it's really interesting to learn and feel close to the members because of their stories, and personal experiences, but yet I am inclined to share more on social media then our own forum.

I was recently interviewed by a local magazine that wanted to feature a local business person and label them a "Risk Taker". I had no idea of the caliber or impact this would make here in town. Tonight my phone blew up, with my clients and friends congratulating me, and of course making fun of me!

Here is a bit more about me, your crazy VOG admin, from an interviewers prospective. A bit weird for me to read, however kinda fun!

Enjoy!

Not much of a "Risk Taker" myself, but my second son is another story. After being screwed over by his business partner in their joint venture, he was left penniless and in June 2013, I had to wire him the funds to make his return trip to Florida.

With help from friends and family, he started a venture that I had little thoughts of it succeeding. Boy did he prove me wrong! Has paid me back, is debt free, has a 'nest egg' to carry them through slow times and doing much better than I ever thought possible. Doing what? Playing video games online.

Some of the recent articles from local paper to associated press, NBC, ABC, FOX and picked up world wide.

Just goes to show, "If you can make a job from something you love, you'll never work a day in your life!"

Thats pretty cool Ron. Looks like they did indeed did do what they love.

Great press, and I am sure this project will just lead to something bigger in the game world. It is a multi billion dollar industry, and isn't slowing down anytime soon!
