Rick Perry
“Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received — hatred. The great creators — the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors — stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.” - Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
1996
~ 1999 Rick Perry Productions, Palm Coast, FL ~ With music on my mind and a notebook of ideas in my hand, I
relocated to Flagler County, Florida (then the fastest growing county
in the United States) where I would begin to introduce people to the
idea of internet marketing (then the fastest growing business sector
in the United States).
1996 Flagler Internet Services: I created FIS for the purpose of promoting independent music but found myself creating the first websites promoting the rapidly growing Flagler County and its many small businesses, restaurants and social clubs. FIS was quickly sold to a local business owner.
Relying heavily on the Internet, I continued promoting music as Rick Perry Productions (RPP). At one point I was promoting and booking over 25 entertainers from Rock to Blues To Folk, Country and Jazz. I offered entertainment services along the entire East Coast, Alabama and Tennessee.
