My Father, Richard Botti passed 8 years ago. He was an advocate and lobbyist for over 1000 Hawaii businesses for 40+ yrs. He was also a nerd. Built his own computers, amplifiers, tuners, speakers and furniture. Bought a used printing press and learned how to fix it and use it to print newsletters. He invested in good cameras to photograph. Later video equipment. He also built his own production studio and learned how to use it rather than pay big bucks for presentations at conferences. As a kid he made time to build Viet Nam era ship and plane models with me. My Dad was not a sports fan, but umpired my little league games. He instilled me with work ethic and solution finding skills. I miss his counsel when I hit a speed bump.
