I really can't discuss anything in any further detail than I have already. My dad does have about 200 pages of paperwork, drawings, etc...
honestly man, I am not all that surprised. Several of our family friends have had very similar turnarounds
- my dad's family friend struggled for 8 years being unemployed with shitty side jobs where he would barely earn enough, then found a job polishing stones for the government (not sure what stones but its some sort of very important job). Now making close to 160,000 a year.
- another family friend, came from armenia 10 years ago, was struggling while living in an apartment for 6 years. The father was able to get some money off the wife's retirement plan or something and started a company, now making 140,000 a year. In 4 years, went from apartment to 440,000 home.
I severely understated how great of a man my father is. He has been doing business of this kind for 20 years. In armenia, before the collapse of the soviet union, my dad had his own business and was about to make a shitload of money. Soviet Union collapsed, my dad was left with nothing.
he came here in 1997 with nearly nothing in his pocket, somehow we were able to survive and got the whole family to america in about 98/99. In 98 we were living in philadelphia in a shitty little apartment, my dad was REALLY struggling as we were illegal aliens. My dad got an ok job in 2000 working in florida for 38,000 a year. He worked there for 4 years (his job relocated). In 06 he got into a dispute with the company and was eventually forced to resign. This was a shitty job with all things considered, he was head of engineering department and was only making 40 grand a year
after he was forced to resign, he struggled for 10-12 months with some small contracts (made about 40 grand in that time period however). Then he finally hit the jackpot the last 3 months with these huge contracts that he was working on.
My dad is an extremely intelligent man with 20 years of experience in business/engineering. I am not surprised at what he is doing right now.
