Hailing A Cab In NYC With Amos Tamam

If you’ve ever been to NYC you might think for a moment that the taxicab is the state bird, like the Subaru is to the state of Vermont. Amos Tamam is giving this bird new 'wings’!

Amos Tamam is responsible for your now having the option of paying for your cab fare with a credit card. No more digging deep in your pockets or wallet for dollar bills and quarters while trying to exit the vehicle quickly. This is a two-fold success for both you and the cab driver. The driver has less money on him or her, thereby reducing the risk of robbery, and you don’t have the contents of your wallet spilling out all over the backseat while rushing to get wherever it is you’re going – the theatre, a restaurant, endless possibilities in NYC.

Amos Tamam trained as an electrical engineer at Tel Aviv University. Upon arriving in NYC back in the 1980’s, he began servicing taxicabs in a fleet garage. Today, he is the CEO of Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc. responsible for making your taxicab journey more of a sightseeing opportunity and less of a chaotic exchange of monies.

Rockin' Eyeglasses

Have you ever noticed how cool and hip celebrities look in their sunglasses? Take a look at Jack Nicholson, perhaps the largest icon for shade representation. Images of Audrey Hepburn, Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, Beckham (don’t even get me started on his tattoos), Johnny Depp, and the list of stars trying to hide behind their shades goes on-and-on. Do they realize their sunglasses make them stand out even more?

Obsession – With Sak Narwal

Many folks tease me about my fear and semi-obsessive behavior about sharks. I keep mentioning the Bull Shark because of its adaptability to fresh and salt waters, which essentially screams in my mind, "I'm here! I could be anywhere - lurking." Anywhere includes Montauk, Long Island. Okay, maybe not the Bull Shark per se but, sharks - period! Sak Narwal is a man with a similar obsession to mine, albeit toward fishing. He is a man who must know all there is about fishing and he travels the globe to learn all he can. Part of Sak Narwal’s need to know includes fishing not so far from home in Montauk, NY. What is he fishing? Sharks! Montauk is the eastern most part of Long Island where several bodies of water merge together – the Atlantic Ocean, the Long Island Sound, currents from the Gulf Stream, rivers from Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts. They all butt together inviting populations of shark – Blue, Thresher, and Hammerheads making these exciting waters for a fisherman like Sak Narwal.
