Jax diesel technology inventor gets backing from Jaguars owner Shad Khan
« on: January 14, 2013, 06:31:55 AM »
Cool story:

Quote
The phone call came from “out of the blue.”

The official calling from the chamber of commerce said the Jacksonville Jaguars’ new owner wanted to invest in local entrepreneurs working on cutting-edge technology.

Would Omar Cueto, owner of L&J Diesel Services, want to meet with an executive representing Shad Khan?

Hmm.  It must have been switched to "All Access" after I read it this morning. Try this link:

Don't forget that Khan was educated as a mechanical engineer.  He understands how this stuff works and how it fits into the transportation industry.

This is a great story. Further proof that Shad is "All In" on Jacksonville.

Putting money where his mouth his. He may just pull Jacksonville into the 21st Century on pure will. (and a big bank account)
