In 2014, Gig and a small group of investors functioned as venture capitalists by funding an investment in a business venture with a major Fortune 500 U.S. drugstore chain, another publicly traded company and a privately held business.

———————————————————————

In March 2014, Gig partnered with someone that ran for Mayor of Las Vegas 2011 with the intent of purchasing upwards of 200 acres of raw land 1.5 hours north of Las Vegas. The land had a private dirt air strip, a plane hanger and a mobile home/office structure. The goal of their newly formed corporation was to build a utility grade solar power plant farm and sell the energy to a California Public Utility. However, the corporation did not move forward with the project as originally planned.

Gig is a strong advocate of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydro and favors the immediate replacement of conventional energy sources coal, gas, oil and nuclear. He currently drives a hybrid and looks forward to the evolution of electric vehicles.

January 5, 2014 Gig pitched a reality TV show idea to one of the largest production companies in the US who specialize in reality television programming working with the History Channel, A&E, TLC, Discovery, Velocity, Nat Geo, Animal Planet, Spike and many more. They have a proven track record in the reality TV space with some of the biggest hit shows.

Rick Vale, a waiter in the commercial, and KPVM-TV Pahrump, NV, Creative Director and News Anchor. Rick was the Engineer for Gig’s television commercial voice over and video edits. He was pleasantly surprised that Gig was able to produce a professional audio voice over, that Gig also wrote, on his first take. And Gig accomplished this within the allotted commercial time, and ended exactly at the desired time-frame. Especially without Rick’s input or advice. KPVM-TV Pahrump, NV, March 31, 2010
