Steve “DJ Guz-E” deGuzman

MORE PROFESSIONAL STUFF

My name is Steve “Guz-E” deGuzman.  Many of you may know me from my Hooters days.  I consider myself the Hooters Historian. What can I say?  I started at Hooters when there were 4 restaurants in the world.  And that was long, long ago… And even longer still I was a DJ.  I have had a life long live for music.  Hence the reason I went on tour with Tantric.

I am currently working (as much time as I can) on a movie about the History of Hooters of America.  My story begins on April 1, 1993 when Mark Brooks and Alan Kulwicki tragically died in what should have been a short 40 minute flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Bristol N Tennessee.  And of course we flash back and forth to April 1, 1983.  April Fools.  More soon.

I am including the information below so that the search engines will (hopefully) index my keywords.  You may notice me writing things like “realtor near me” or “homes for sale near me.  And recently yo may have noticed me drilling down to Boulder Luxury Homes For Sale.  

A Real Estate and Financial Accounting graduate from Georgia State University J. Mack Robinson College of Business, with a proven track record of success in all aspects of business management, including operations, sales, marketing, recruiting, training, budgeting, accounting, and project management.
