Just kidding, the guys on the left and right are “The Blues Brother’s from Universal Studios, Florida
they both have day jobs. The one in the center is Thomas "TOM" Gunter the host for the evening
and better know to the International business world as “TOM” CEO and owner of Billboard Brokers
of America, LLC., the founder of several successful businesses and mentor to many more.
Tom resides in Florida with his beautiful wife Angela and has four beautiful daughters and three
sons.
Gunter started as an apprentice in an outdoor advertising business in 1960, by the end of the third
year, with less than a hundred dollars in his pocket, he said his goodbye’s to his employer and
open the doors to his own outdoor advertising company. When his former employer was asked
about Gunter opening his own business?” He replied “How much can one man do?”
Never under estimate the power of one. Over the next four years Gunter would build and sell his
first million dollar business.
It took him two years to build and sell the second million dollar business. Over the following years
he would continue to build, buy and sell outdoor adverting companies and plants across American
from coast to coast. Over the past 45 years he has had the privilege and opportunity to work side
by side with some of the largest and best know names in the outdoor advertising industry, many
would become the entrepreneurs that would shape the outdoor advertising industry as we know it
today.
It was not all work along the way; Gunter had the opportunity to play out many different roles
along his road to success as he ventured into politics, local, state and national, working with
legislators, governors and finally the President of the United States, Ronald Regan. In the mid
80's Gunter would serve on several committees for the Regan Administration.
In the spring of 1989, Hollywood tracked him down through a mutual friend in Washington D.C.,
one of the movie industries most noted producer’s, Richard Zanack was producing a new film for
Warner Brothers. Zanack asked Tom if he would consider designing and produce the billboards for
a 1940’s movie named “Driving Miss Daisy”. Gunter excepted, by the following year “Driving Miss
Daisy" would win three Academy Awards and become “Best Picture of The Year” 1990.
Gunter was quickly adopted into the Hollywood circle by studios and producers as one of their
own, Gunter would soon build his own film and television production company and develop a
close bond with the movie and television industry, a bond that continues until this day. Back
home in Florida he had been elected president of “The Florida Motion Picture and Television
Guild” where he would serve three consecutive terms. By the end of third year Gunter stepped
down as president to spend more time with his growing family and focus his attention on the
increasing demands of his growing outdoor advertising business.
After leaving Hollywood to the dreams of others, he continued building his outdoor adverting
company expanding into other venues of the outdoor industry while managing and helping other
outdoor advertising industry entrepreneurs. Tom’s the kind of guy that will go out of his way to
help almost anyone who will listen. One of his favorite people was “Will Rogers” who once said “I
never met a man I did not like”, with a smile Tom said he did not completely agree, he said
"Apparently he did not meet some of the people I met." but none the less he did liked Will
Rogers. One of his favorite writings he associated himself with was written by the famous
American writer Robert Frost, it was a poem, “The Road Not Taken”. The two books that most
influenced his formative business years was “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent
Peale and “Think and Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by Andrew Carnegie.
Gunter while building his own reputation and place in the outdoor industry, touched the lives of
many average American businessmen and women along the way, many who listened and later
became successful business entrepreneurs and joined him by also taking the "The Road Less
Traveled".

Thinking About Buying Leds? Maybe Paying To Much?
Be Careful ! Not All Leds Are Created Equal And You Probably Are Paying To Much!
A though on buying Led’s … It’s not like buying a new Cadillac and comparing it to a mid size
Chevrolet or buying a Lincoln Town Car and comparing it to a mid size Ford… Led’s all look
basically the same from the highway unless you are a pro you will never know the difference.
When buying an Led display you are buying a box, be careful you are not paying to much for what
we call a "designer label". The "Designer Label" is not going to make it look or work any better
from the highway … the advertiser could care less if you have a "Designer Label Led" or not, all the
advertiser wants is the end results … their advertisement. Yes that is the sad truth they, don’t care
if you paid $100,000.00 more for the "Designer Label" on the box, chances are they are never
going to see that "designer label" unless you drive them up to the billboard and show it to them
then, then they are going to think you are nuts.
What should be more important to you is what’s inside the box. You should not have to pay that
extra $100,000.00 plus per unit to get what you need to have a beautiful Led billboard when you
can get the same guarantee’s, basic bells & whistles, factory trained service teams and etc.,
custom built to your specifications for less.
Why not save yourself a $100,000.00 and buy that expensive car you always wanted or make a
down payment on that new vacation home you promising your wife … or just buy into another Led!
Use Caution, don’t just go out and buy any low price Led either, there is a lot of junk on the market
to so you need to be careful what you buy, cheaper is not always better. We can line you up with
high quality Led's at a reasonable price, along with financing, service plus warranties… we can
assist you in finding the Led location right for you.
It Is Not A Myth, a great Led billboard location can make you $45,000 plus a month just like the
manufactures say, but it’s what they are not telling you that you should be concerned about. If you
don’t know this business, don’t take the risk until you consult a professional. You can avoid a
financial disaster by letting my team of professional evaluate your next outdoor advertising
venture.
The outdoor advertising industry can be a very lucrative and rewarding business but like any other
business it’s about making the right decisions, it takes more than just common since today, this is a
high tech business, get advice from a professional before you buy.
I hope each of you find the level of successful you are seeking in the outdoor adverting Industry as I
have. Work smart, consult a professional and you will get there sooner than you may think.
We would like to be a part of your success story.
Good Luck and Best Wishes,
Thomas “Tom” Gunter
