The first ICEKRUSHER prototype, received Friday March 17 2017, worked exactly as intended on ice and frozen snow in a restaurant parking lot. The following Thursday the ICEKRUSHER was tested on a residential property in Hunterdon County NJ by Mrs. T. and her daughters, all under five feet tall. Seeing the ease of use by persons smaller than myself, I knew I had a useful product I could bring to market, and promptly filed a provisional patent application. On March 31 I was granted provisional application number 62/601,815.
April through October of 2017 was spent researching production options, vetting casting firms, soliciting quotes, outlining a base marketing strategy, and planning the supply chain for potential first orders. The first 17 years of my career were spent at Yellow Freight, Airborne Express and AIA/Kitty Hawk Air Cargo. All the long hours spent in ground/air cargo operations management, followed by cargo and communication technology sales experience are now bearing fruit for a project that is completely my own!
All this means two very important things to potential investors: First, I have done the homework, field work, planning work and VISION work to give the ICEKRUSHER and future variants the best chance to launch well and succeed. Second, I am ALL IN personally to run, manage and promote the ICEKRUSHER line of products. URGENT INVESTMENT UPDATE 10/10/18:
