My
dream as a child, in Dominican Republic, was one day to own business. It
sounded a little crazy to everybody because we were so poor, and I was sick
with a chronic heart disease. Which they didn’t know what could happen to
me, but one day something good happen, in 1992 I was selected for charity
institution to come to United State to get an open heart surgery, that right
there changes my life, my desires to live were growing inside of me, to take
care my family, and after recuperate from that operation, I decided to start
my new life down here, and my cousin offered me a places to stay, a job to
start, well that was my beginning in this field, in 1994 he decided to go
out this country and I was in charge of that small shop Sundance tire,
nothing stopped me I was doing what I like, helping and serving people with
their car needs, in 1996 we split out, I went to work with a big Tire
Company I last only for three weeks I wanted to do something for myself,
that was when I decided to open my own store, that was back in 05-17-96, so
I did in 1290 South 17-92 Longwood, Florida, The First Rubens Tires
Services, that was amazing how the people was so please with my services,
funny thing happened I ended up been owner, secretary, tire tech,
dispatcher, watchman, because I lived in that place to help me to save
money, till I got enough to buy in 1999 a lot in 930 North 17-92, Longwood,
Florida, where I been serving all central Florida, ever since then, every
time getting bigger and bigger, on September 28 2003 I got my second store
in 2286 Fairbanks Av. Winter Park, Fl, 32789, which my brother Milton Feliz
is running that way I am keeping it as a family business. |
