Title: Jax diesel technology inventor gets backing from Jaguars owner Shad Khan

Cool story:

QuoteThe 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?

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)

Yeah, I usually don't buy the paper, but the headline caught my eye this morning at the gas station. Awesome story.

Omar is a high school friend of mine who is always looking for a better way to do everything. Great guy whose drive serves him well. For you Omar "Voomva".
