Captured by Capitaland

I have evolved from a tire shop mechanic into a dealership mechanic. I was very sad to leave Larry O’Shea, yet Capitaland made me such a good offer that I could not refuse. I have also decided to stay on probation here in New York and not pursue a trial by jury for the cases in Texas. I have wanted to focus on improving my mechanic skills and Subaru/GMC are both brands that I really enjoy servicing.

My grandfather died before I was born, yet he fought in the war with Japan and so I like to work on Japanese cars. I was also named after him and the original “Matthew Szal” grew up in Brooklyn. This is another reason I wanted to go to Pratt so much was on account of him. I also like GMC vehicles, which are really good American family vehicles, and utility cars/trucks.

I may still do graphic design work for Adirondack Tire, yet I may have to stop working for them entirely and stop running Magick Mechanic. I hope to start a family soon now that I can support one and I have never been more hopefully for the future.

Buy your next vehicle @ Capitaland Subaru/GMC!

PSA: S99 is a Scam

I have been courting several different public relations agencies to do publicity for my new deck of cards. Yet, one company called S99 is a huge scam, and I was almost able to prove this by emailing one of the company’s co-founders, Chris K.

I was a public relations minor in college, and I was a member of PRSA. I emailed Chris a press release with a $500 retainer offer for “proof of concept” before hiring the agency. I have been burned before by services that advertise getting your press releases in the newspapers and other media, yet just steal your dough and do not deliver anything. Such companies will keep taking your money as long as you are stupid enough to keep giving it to them. People like Tony Curtis’s character in The Sweet Smell of Success come to mind.

I have planned several media/marketing campaigns over the years and know I need to hire some high-caliber agency people for this one. Please email me if anyone has an agency or PR person they recommend. My next meeting is with Artsy Shark.
