    Try googling this clown’s name and you find that there have been several complaints and fines levied about him in several states going back at least 10 years. He is plain and simple a con man who should be in jail and not just getting wrist slapping fines. Each time he denies the allegations and he makes ridiculous claims about his thriving business which has been described as “operating out of his parent’s basement.” At one point he describes his business as the “New York Yankees” of his business. It would be hilarious but for the fact that he consistently rips people off and gets away with it. He got busted for insuring a field goal kicking contest at halftime of the Rose Bowl and of course he didn’t pay the claim and the sponsor got stuck with the tab. It took me 3 minutes to find all of this out. If you ever come across him, call the police.

    Gee, do you think Connecticut will be more successful in collecting those fines, than the sponsors of those “hole-in-one” prizes?

    Whose kidding who – fines?

    That does sound exactly like the Yankees and their new staidum deal, so I guess he isn’t lying about that part.

    Seems kind of ironic that the tournament organizers at an underwriting company like Travelers wouldn’t have checked into this dude B4 contracting his services.

    Connecting this to the Yankees’ new stadium deal is more than a little bit of a stretch. Sounds like there are deeper issues there sips.
