Through my networking I was able to bring North American Philips and RUTT Custom Cabinetry together on a joint product venture. Philips was developing a line of large screen 52" TV's. As consultant to RUTT I was designing a new product line called "Empire". The President and Vice President at RUTT and I went to Knoxville and met with the executives at Philips. The outcome was a 2 year exclusive agreement that produced a joint sales and marketing arrangement for a unique product line of my design that received a much press coverage, publicity, and sales.
