With examples of his work in the foreground, Ismael “Izzy” Collazo spoke to the Brookings Rotary Club today about his company Blind Guy Boards. A formally trained chef who lost his sight due to diabetes, Cuban-born Izzy began designing and creating wooden cutting boards after taking a class in woodworking. He now sells as many as 150 boards each year through arts festivals and his Facebook page. “I’m more stubborn than my disability,” he told Rotarians. Thanks, Izzy, for a remarkable program!
