Before I begin my rambling today there are a number of people I need to thank… First there is Ben Dubois, without whom we would not have equipment. But, more than equipment he has been a fountain of good advice and know-how from an experienced Pizza entrepreneur. Ben Thanks.
Next, we wish to thank our friend Jonathan Chicquette.. Jonathan saw our CNN coverage and emailed us offering to help with our website. We had received several similar offers, but for some reason (perhaps divine intervention) we took him up on it. Jonathan owns XSIVE 1 STUDIOS in Seattle Washington and did an awesome job on our website. He worked long hard hours and was able to make the new website launch complete with menu (it was secret till we opened) simultaneously as the store opened. The site looks professional and without him I would not be able to do this blog every Monday… He thought of things we never considered and we bugged him daily with new additions and after thoughts. Jonathan thanks for all the hard work. We are very grateful to have met you. If anyone needs some professional, high quality web page design & development, we recommend XSIVE 1 STUDIOS. www.xsive1studios.com …
Then there’s Rich Larson… he fixed and delivered our equipment
My crew…. They are a good team and any Pizza man would be honored to have such a team. They are all brand new and many of them have never made a Pizza before they came here.. Thanks to all of them.
Jeff Maskevich… My good friend.. my pastor. Jeff is pastor of the Ames Community Church. I met Jeff about 7 months ago.. at that time I was a devout atheist, and he was starting a church. We became good friends immediately and he taught me many things. He helped me in my spiritual journey. Jeff also did all the graphic design on our menu.. It’s as well done as any I have ever seen. Jeff thanks for EVERYTHING.
My church family… although right now we’re only about a dozen strong… I think that God may have big plans for us and our church. God bless you all.
God… not to mention God last but to give him the most credit… Thanks for the opportunity… and the crew. Thanks for giving my partners the courage to risk everything. Thanks for bringing all of these key people into our lives.
