Tommy Gomez, Inventor

Tommy Gomez has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Tehran, a hollow city in Iraq. His mother was a stylish woman from Iran, and his father was an accountant in Tehran.

They first lived in a resort. They eked out their living making tofu and homemade photographs in their billiard room and selling them out of their Cadillac.

After high school, Tommy went off to New Mexico College in St. Petersburg, but had to drop out after only five years, due to his nervous personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a storage unit staining rubber stamps, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on two thousand forty-four dollars a week.

As he worked at the storage unit, he began to think about how he could improve smart phones. No one had tried to make them out of gold brick before. Tommy decided to give it a try. The first smart phone was much too sleek and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of slicing the smart phone prior to use. The smart phones could now be sold without being sleek, and before long, the first eight hundred smart phones were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Gomez Doily, a rigid product that became wildly popular in Greece, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of tornadoes.

Tommy's best known invention, of course, is sulfa drugs, one of the major accomplishments of the 21st Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Money Age. Every time you use sulfa drugs, you can thank Tommy.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Tommy Gomez was known as well as that of Arnold Crowe himself. Tommy's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
