Perry's Story

Greetings everyone from the Home of the Giant Rodent! (Disney) In a blink, here is what has been going on in my life since graduation from BMHS: Attended film school at Sacred Heart University for 2 years, and when I was told I would not be the next Spielberg, I decided to try my skills at Retail, working my way upto middle-management in Crazy-Eddies. When Crazy's went public in 1985, things changed in the company; so in 1986, with that and a rough break-up with a girlfriend of 3+ years, I sought the warmer climate and waters of Marco Island/Naples Florida, where I met my wife in early 1987 (just celebrated our 21st anniversary). From there, we moved to Winter Park Florida in 1990, where we bought our home and my wife attended her junior year of Engineering School at The University of Central Florida. After the recession of "91, and years of broken promises from several employers, I decided to start my own business operating Italian Ice vending trucks in 1996. In March of 1998, our son Zachary was born, enriching and changing our lives forever! Everyday, I continue to be amazed at just how special a gift he is to us. In late '99, my wife asked me to "shift" gears, and come into her growing Construction Company which she founded in 1998 shortly after the birth of our son. In 2003, our company reached it's zenith, winning two "Golden Brick" awards for design and build-out of what became then, Orlando's two hottest, trendy downtown epicurean gems. After those two accomplishments, we turned our attention to building the firs...Expand for more
t Frank Lloyd-Wright inspired, post-modern home in Orlando in five decades. (This home was designed by the last living student of Frank-Llyod Wright, and is now on the National Film Registry.) In 2004, like so many other Floridians, our lives changed dramatically. With all the wide-spread damage throughout Orlando from Huricane Charlie, our business was mortally wounded, and finally succumbed in December of '04 to the inevitable market forces that followed the Hurricanes in Florida that year. With that, the resumes went out. My wife got the first offer, and I ended up playing my version of John Lennon...no; not the songwriting and singing, just the staying home, taking care of the kids part. (lol!) Zach finished first grade at our synagogue's school as he did in kindergarten the year before, and since then, he's had Daddy as his teacher. (poor kid...lol) Homeschooling has been a truly rewarding experience for me, and the added time I have with my son because of it has made a huge difference in our relationship. Since closing our business in 2004, I have become the connoisseur of cruises, doing my best to make up for all those years we were too busy to make quality-time for our family. Because of it, we are now closer to each other, and Zach has opened his eyes to a whole new world that lies just below the ocean's surface. He has become quite a little snorkle junkie. Who knows... Maybe someday, his "Uncle" J.T. Sollazzo will take him scuba diving visiting the depths of the Caribbean, while his dad is gleefully at his side.
