About Perry Riddick

I have truly been a blessed and lucky individual. I have seen the u.s. and the world,worked in some of the Most interesting of enviorments and come out of those carreers a better and smarter individual.From early on working in the food and beverage industries to pay for my education through the connecticut broadcasting school. Those experiences taught me the knowledge of customer service and team work tha are invaluble to the person I am today. A great internship with Bill Lewis and Michale Stanley at Wncx in Cleveland built my confidence and led diectly to me moving out west to New Mexico, then Nevada and California to pursue my broadcast carreer with such stations as KBCQ/ KCKN in roswell new mexico,KEDG in las vegas and Kfbt tv 33 also in Las vegas. Listing all of the skills I have aquired in these industries would be to numerous and exstensive, but least to say i have garnered alot of knowledge. A change of careers was in order.monitarily and familial responsibilities necessitated that. I was a man whos Front of house and back of house duties were my forte for the chillgo corporation.working at their boardman ohio chilis location.Which in turn led to my consulting business with Riddick and Velez A company I founded in 2003.With an intent to not only advise other resarauntuers.but also started the Paparazzis movie cafe concept. Which had very little success i must admit, but after tasting a hint of failure.I started my next concept, in 2005 Blackstone gourmet.A take out and delivery establishment in the youngstown area.grossing over 500k in sales each of the first two years. The co owners relieved me of my responsibilities in early 2009. My time in the food and beverage industry left me with several contacts and opportunities to decide uppon but after a conversation with Jeff Bodendorfer in 2009 i became a partner in the Blind Man an installation, consultation, and repair business in the blind, drapery and home furnishings industry.
