I am dedicating this area of the page to WARN the Internet community of a guy on-line who has been SLANDERING my Good Name and Business, once again! If you do a Google search for Damian J. Renzello or Porta-Rinx you will see several web sites of this SLANDER! One of these slanderous pages includes an article titled "Fraud Runs Rampant in VT" and several other sites stating that "other companies" also makes a Porta-Rinx portable ice skating rink. There is also a page that states that I buy Ice-N-Go kits and then retail them for thousands of dollars more than what they sell for ... Let the FACTS be known there is only one Porta-Rinx - portable ice skating rink and it is manufactured here in Vermont. There is also a site that states that "I did not Invent Porta-Rinx" from this so called David Black. For all of you looking for a portable kit for an ice skating rink and have come across any of these Slanderous sites ... Have no doubt of who I am and what Porta-Rinx is all about, I spent 13 hard years designing a good quality kit for a backyard ice skating rink. Please take a minute and check out my news articles and letters from past customers ... They clearly state the facts and the truth of my self and my product line!

13 Years ago my mom asked me what I thought about a portable kit for an ice skating rink!
I thought it was a great idea, so I went to work designing Porta-Rinx, a couple weeks later I met this Michael E. Nelson a student at the time attending Norwich University located in Northfield, VT. I invited him back to my shop and we discussed him helping me with my porta-rinx business, a week later he comes to me with this black and white flyer and on the very front cover he puts Porta-Rinx "World Famous in Hockey" can you believe this ... 2 weeks after I invented my first prototype for Porta-Rinx. I told him immediately DO NOT misrepresent my products ... when Porta-Rinx becomes World Famous, Great! but until then, Again ... Please DO NOT misrepresent my products! At this point I was almost at the end of my first season. Mike Nelson seemed like a good guy ... Very Smart, Intelligent, etc,. little did I know what was to come ...

Here is a news article and a few web sites that I have copied for quick referance
to this guy Mike Nelson, the guy who is slandering my name and business ...

Click on the NEWS Link, found on the top right side of this page, here you will see an article written by The Times Argus, also of Barre, Vermont - dated back in 1996 when I first designed/invented Porta-Rinx And when I started using the Porta-Rinx trade name.

After my first season with Mike Nelson, he was gone ... I did not see him until 5 years later, now my 6th season in business, at this point I had come up with a brand new idea for what I now call The Bambini, it's an ice resurfacing machine for backyard ice rinks, I figured if somebody invented a baby "Backyard" Zamboni they would call it a Bambini, So I did! You can also check out a news article of when they wrote the first story on The Bambini like 10 years ago ... When I ran into Mike Nelson 5 years later he at that point was looking for a job ... so I offered him to work with me for something like $400 per week. This was around the beginning of January 2000/2001 season. After a short period of time, I found out that Mike had problems,
BIG PROBLEMS with Norwich University and The Vermont Country Store ...
Mike Nelson was BANNED from Norwich University ... and The Vermont Country Store filed a cyber suit against him as well ... See the Rutland Herald news article titled - "Cyber Squatter Settles" if you Google Search "Mike Nelson Cyber Squatter" you will find the TRUTH! about this Mike Nelson, aka David Black, aka Eric Michaels, aka ... ??? It is there you will see how Norwich University Banned him from School! My question is, what kind of guy gets Banned from Norwich University??? Also you will see the facts and an additional story on The Vermont Country Store case and how Mike Nelson Filed like 22 Web Sites defaming The Gravel and Shae law Firm, as well as many others ...
and now he is defaming myself, my business, my products and my efforts ...

I am writting to you expressing this situation because I do not want anybody to be fooled by this guy, slandering my name and business. Many of you found my web site because you are looking for an easy to use backyard ice skating rink kit ... or for one of my accessories, You found the right place ... what ever sites you see on-line, blogs or other slanderous comments made ... slandering my name, you can guarantee that it is coming from Mike Nelson, or one of his aka's, or one of his computer friends ... Once again read my news articles and letters ... there you will see that I truly am an Inventor and Entrepreneur! And that my products are Real and that I did in fact design and Invent Porta-Rinx and The Porta-Rinx Line ... There are 3 kits on the market for a backyard ice skating rink, There is Ice-N-Go, NICE RINK and Porta-Rinx! Check out each of the sites, look at the pictures and details ... product for product! You will CLEARLY see the difference between them! all the slanderous comments Mike Nelson has written about me on-line is Mike Nelsons TORTUROUS ways of interfering with me and my business! he is an internet bully ... the differance between an internet bully and an old school yard bully? The school yard bully you can confront and then hopefully make mends, instead of appologising for his actions and making things right this guy Mike Nelson - HIDES behind his computer!???

Four years ago, you may remember the American Inventor TV show ... As you may now know, I am an inventor and I always have been an Inventor, I have many different products and inventions ... every day I come up with new idea's ... so naturally I auditioned for The American Inventor Show and In fact I got called back! I think Iwas one of 200 out of 10,000 or so auditions That made the first cut ... I was flown to Los Angeles, California where I attended the next audition ... when I got there, one of the producers in charge asked me "Who is Mike Nelson" he has been calling and making threatening comments etc ... I brought a Very Good idea to that audition, it is a Christmas tree stand, that Guarantees your tree won't fall over, what I think is a Very Good Idea ... When I went in for my audition, they just quickly passed it through! Next ... Hey Thanks alot Mike ...Thanks for being a friend! I mean this is my life, I have worked 13 hard years building my Porta-Rinx business and from Nothing and to think that a person can take such actions is beyond me, you Mike Nelson are obviously EVIL and Twisted ... Whats the differance between a good guy and a bad guy ... a Good Guy Forgives and Forgets and maybe tries to make mends ... This guy just continues to Torture people on line, like a quintesential internet bully ... Have No Doubt! That is Exactly what this guy is!!

A couple years ago, I was working with The Boston Bruins Foundation building a relationship between us ... One Day Paul Stewart, at the time, Director of The Bruins Foundation, called me and asked "Who is Mike Nelson" He has been calling and threatening Charlie Jacobs - The Owner of the Boston Bruins all morning, WOW ... What kind of person would do such a thing???

A couple years ago, a News Paper in Connecticut wrote a very nice story on Porta-Rinx, After 11 years of struggling and building my business from nothing And as a one-man operation, you can imagine what a nice little Pay Back it is to read such a nice story ... and then ... once again, I get a call from this reporter ... asking "Who is Mike Nelson" Not only did he call the reporter but he also called The Director for the Park and Rec dept. who made the comments on my rinks ...
Hey if you're going to call the owner of The Boston Bruins and the producer of The American Inventor show ... hey why not call everybody else that has ever written a story on me!

Last year I designed this new machine called The Bambini Revolution - for a lack of better names, It's an All-In-One, Ice Resurfacing Machine! You can drive down a River, or a Pond or a Lake - Throw Snow, Shave Ice and drop Hot Water, All-in-One Pass ... In Fact, Popular Science Magazine did a story on it - March issue, 2007 page 69 ... Can you imagine after all these years to have Popular Science do a story on one of your products and then here he goes again ... The Publisher or somebody ??? calls and says "Who is Mike Nelson" Mike Nelson called Popular Science Harassed and threatened them ... Again, what kind of sick individual does such a thing?

Porta-Rinx is my life ... it is my business I am a one-man operation ... when you call I am the one who answers the phone, manufactures and delivers your rink, Bambini or Ice Mower ... I Do Not buy a kit and then re-sell it, I am the manufacture of Porta-Rinx. My Bambini's I make from scratch, and The Ice Mower's, with the exception of the obvious, I convert to shave ice ...
and for the record, I manufacture a Good Quality kit that will last for many years to come!
The Bambini is a time saver and The Ice Mower does exactly that, it Mowes Ice Smooth ...

To all of you, I am writting this because I want you to know that I am and my products are for real ... And if you have come across any of these slanderous sites ... Please help me get the word out! if you are a past customer and know me personally ... Please take a minute, and leave your comments on these bogus Blogs! and to Mike Nelson to go get a life ...

TO BE CONTINUED ...
