TIM STOCKTON
Graduated in 1974 from Richmond Missouri, attened Dallas Institute of Science graduated and became a licensed Embalmer and Funeral Director. I found that line of work was just not up my alley, I was hired as a Manger of a Churchs Fried Chicken in Kansas City in 1977. From there I worked my way up the chain of Godfathers Pizza, and became the Manager of the Highest volume store in the Nation in Columbia Mo. I stayed with Godfathers for 4 years, then purchased my own very small restaurant that had sales of 2,000 dollars a week. Within 2 years that small restaurant, changed its name to Rib;s N Stuff BBQ's. I increased sales to the point when I sold it in 1988 to over 9-11 thousand dollars a week. I moved to Miami in 1988 and ended up in Fort Myers Florida, where I still reside. I started a wholesale bonsai tree nursery, obtained major chain store contracts, Wal-Mart, Home Depot and many others, to become the largest producer of Bonsai Trees in the Nation. I became bored with playing in the dirt everyday after 6 years and I then developed a business where you are able to purchase a single share of stock to give to anyone not requiring persons social security number. Share is framed and presented as a gift. I researched many months on S.E.C. rules and regualations before I finally had the nerve to hit Click and launch the Website.I obtained approval with the securities and exchange commission in August 1996. I will never forget the first order I received on my crude website I made myself with Adobe Pagemill. I remember that night so vivid It seem like just a week ago. It was and still is a very unique concept. I sold the company to move to be with my mother in Missouri after my brother was found dead of a heart attack while eating breakfast in September of 2008. It was so unfortunate that my Mother was staying with myself as I had been in the hospital, she walked across the street to say good morning to my brother and found him . After that day my Life was a slow process to depression. I sold the company, and my home, and move to Princeton MO to be near my Mother. It made her so happy that I was only two doors down in this town of 1,000, my bad luck was not over, as she was dianosed with Lung cancer just 3 months after my move and passed away 2 months later. I returned to Fort Myers in Oct of 2013, I retired and work part time again as advisor and transfer agent FOR FRAMEASTOCK.COM
