My Gravity Defyer Shoes are the best selling item of 2007! What many people don’t know is that one of the Gravity Defyer shoes is design by a very special person: my good friend Richard Thalheimer.
This design is also the best seller. As you probably all know Richard is the founder of Sharper Image. Richard is one man who revolutionized the world of innovation and amazed the world with his ingenious mind. He created the world’s largest retail chain of innovative products and toys.
I must admit that he was an inspiration and a mentor to me. As an inventor, it was my dream to have my invention and my products featured in Sharper Image. When I look back on my dreams of the past and see where I am today… Working with Richard is what I consider, the pinnacle of my career.
On of my most savored moments with Richard came during an evening outing in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show. I had dinner with Richard at the Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse, (the best steakhouse in Vegas I must say). After consuming one of the best meals and fine wine, we had made a bet on who would pick up the tab by the flip of a coin. Needless to say, I won the bet!
I look up to Richard too! Although I don’t know him, I do find inspiration from him. You as well!
