I am quite honored
to offer an introduction for Naomi Castro, owner of
Bonded Inspections. I know Naomi to believe that she
is just an ordinary person, doing the best she can,
but not really aware of how her buoyant personality
and generous nature bring pleasure to those whose lives
she touches.
Naomi would be the
last one to think that "putting it on the line"
for a friend or putting 100% into whatever she does
was something extra-ordinary.
To enlighten one to
all of Naomi's qualities and her personal and business
accomplishments would be a daunting task indeed. Therefore,
the following thumbnail sketch is provided along with
a few news and magazine articles which reveal parts
of the many faceted and hard-working persona known as
Naomi J. Castro.
During the past 15
years, while operating Bonded Inspections (a real estate
inspection company) with direct "hands
on" management, Naomi still managed to win 1st
Place in the "Spam" cooking contest (which
requires an original recipe and preparation and judging
of the actual dish), get featured in business and news
articles, attend and get involved with and serve on
the Board of Directors of the California Women in Chambers
of Commerce (CWCC), attend CWCC Conventions and Seminars,
donate time and her culinary skills to the Albuquerque
Press Club, donate gourmet meals to 3 shifts of the
local fire station on a twice-monthly basis), gather
donations for CWCC, the APC, The Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce and her son's Church, cater several events
as a donation to the needy, donate clothes, food and
money to charitable organizations, help raise funds
for friends' and neighbors' college and catastrophic
events and somehow still find time to visit her sons
and grandchildren in Kansas twice a year.
Naomi J. Castro ("Mickey"
to all who know her) was born in Brooklyn NY in 1953.
While growing up in this exciting and challenging environment,
she did well and was chosen as one (of only 2) students
to attend the Music and Arts High School (a very prestigious
school) because of her accomplishments as a student
in both Music and Art. After she finished school, Naomi
worked in the Wall Street District in the World Trade
Center where she acquired her financial and business
experience while working for The Swiss Bank, NA. She
did volunteer work as the Secretary to Daytop Drug Rehabilitation
Center (which her uncle Directed). During this period
she married and gave birth to 2 sons. Considering their
well being her first priority, she moved to Kansas to
provide them with the best environment and education.
While in Kansas, Naomi established and for 10 years
operated a day-care center for children.
She later moved to
New Mexico. She and business associates purchased and
rebuilt the old JC Penney Building and started and operated
successful Construction and Service Companies in the past. She has contracted with Sandia
National Labs, White Sands Missile Range and as well
as many other governmental and private companies.
Among her many unmentioned
accomplishments, Naomi is known as the "Spam Queen
" of Albuq., having won 6 trophies to date. However,
she insists that her greatest awards are: 2 sons, (one
an Ordained Minister and the other a "super qualified"
Microsoft Certified Computer Expert) 5 grandchildren
and 4 step-grandchildren (who she travels far to give
equal time to) |
