story but you came into knock about one day H and not the first time that we've met no first time we reconnected over painting pumpkins absolutely in the freezing cold rain yes and uh you talked to me about your business idea yes ma'am and I loved it you loved it I did great what about the jokes I dropped a couple jokes too I think that's how I want over yeah I it really was but I I feel like we should just start at the very beginning uh everyone this is Cindy and Cindy's RL Salvador her family came here when did you come here um I was 14 when my family moved over yeah and the idea was to always go to net my father had a job offer there but um when uh we landed we were in Boston for a year we lived in Malden and uh my parents were like Hey we're moving to the states we have we have visas and stuff I'm like oh that's great there that there's karate there this is amazing I love that the first thing you thought of moving to America there's karate here well I watch Karate Kid and I'm like I want to do that want to do it and then uh we moved to mden and uh surprise surprise I don't speak English so I couldn't do karate and then my parents were like yeah we're moving to net and uh guess what was it on net no karate no karate oh I'm sorry Cindy your American Dreams d just died right there like this is great the roads and um I always wondered what you know I everybody gravitates towards whatever they feel like their American dream is I think my dad my dad grew up learning um English by watching Hannah Barbara commercials oh so I mean he has this like weird cartoon violent sense of humor but I think it's just because that's how he learned English and what he thought exactly like oh this is great this is exactly how they talk it's perfect that old timey swag with bad jokes that's my dad right I can relate but that's what I'm saying so here you are you come to America there's no karate there's no karate and you're on an island sadness that must have been just such a culture shock from El Salvador to to n tuck it oh no yeah it was absolutely um I remember my parents were uh warning us about the first boat trip and they're like don't look at the water and I'm like what am I supposed to look at right yeah and there at that time you there's no cell phones there's no t so we're just looking at the water what else am I supposed to look at your face yeah exactly they at the floor they're like yeah don't look you're gonna get sick and ah too late oh yeah but it wasn't too bad it was it was just a little bit luckily it's a short ride it's it's not that long two hours and 45 minutes on the slowboat was great it's not that long I forget about the slowboat usually I just take a nap yeah plenty of cocktails you were not allowed to do that then not old enough no I was sent to sleep they're like yeah yeah go go lay down somewhere you'll figure out so basically you grew up on anet you had your teen informative years on anet I did I I went to n High graduated in uh 2005 it's been a long time now well you know oh my God we we you said it I didn't oh I know so um yeah so graduated onet high and then um eventually joined Cap Cod Community College moved out here which is where I met Jared yeah her husband my husband by the way yeah super fun guy you guys I I love I love your marriage you like play together you're you're fun and Goofy and yeah you enjoy each other's company absolutely yeah the poor guy uh I'm like here there's this idea that I have about the house I think you should do it and he's like I'm not a plumber and I'm like I know you can figure out I believe in you right yeah you're amazing I believe in you I believe in you good morning Miss Emily thanks for joining us on the show we've got Cindy here and uh we've been trying to connect forever ever yeah what is her business hold on Jeff we'll get there we're getting there the orine story first and then you know what how we got there right exactly good morning Dave thanks for joining us yeah so um anyway um it's been a a long journey and uh loved every second of it and uh it's brought me to this point here today yeah yeah so um I've been working for kitchen and bath galleries for over five years yeah and now I thought you know what there is something that we're missing and I got this a lot from customers that would come in they're like hey do you know somebody that you can connect me with everyone's always looking for a guy I got a guy I got a gal I got a SI I've got a business I've got a thing right so um and having experience with a bad contractor myself I thought why don't I put this all together on a place where people can find the best of the best and uh uh connect with them connect with the with the with the customer so uh I mentioned it to to some friends and then somebody was a good like Angie's List well kind of yeah but uh I think uh this is at a local level and everyone that's in it has been thoroughly interviewed and and checked vetted vetted thoroughly vetted and um so you don't go into that headache of who is in my house so this is somebody who is VIP I love it for a VIP person well it's important and I think everybody's always looking for somebody that you can trust right I feel like especially since post pandemic there's a lot of shyers out there unfortunately there are a lot of people out there doing not great business and it's really even difficult finding a contractor or somebody that you really truly trust to get the job done and we're talking about Big Buck stuff sometimes not just little stuff yeah I mean uh it the kitchen of your dreams should be the kitchen of your dreams yeah you're going to spend money because I know everything is expensive but you want it done right and you want it done once um I had customers come in to I I currently work for Supply New England um and I do my website thing on the side but they come in and they said oh yeah I fired my my contractor halfway there because he wasn't showing up or wasn't returning my calls and that's not the kind of people you want to work with right so I went out of my way to finding the people that you want to work with yeah so how do people get involved and you use your services um so I designed a website it's cdesign partners.com and uh there are three different forms that you can fill out uh exterior work interior and kitchen design I do kitchen design kitchen and bath so if you fill out the form and tell us what you need we'll connect you with somebody that is um of that service that can help you in your area perfect you get two phone calls not 20 so I like that well that's the thing when you sign up for these these agencies or these people that you think are going to help you you got 45,000 emails and then you get everybody who wants to bid on your project their emails and then it doesn't stop it's like just a a full out assault on your inbox and your phone correct yeah so we're avoiding that um your information goes nowhere but but to us and uh we call you to confirm your information and then to let you know who is going to be calling you next and the next call should be the person who's going to be working with you hopefully good perfect that's it I'm I'm going to drop that in the chat just in case you're looking for any sort of service when it comes to stuff like that because I think it's important that we need to uh just have a little bit of peace of mind every once in a while yeah yeah I get I got everybody so you need a a cleaner I still so I have to talk oh I know she's see if she wants to be part of my team yeah um uh so there's cleaners uh exterior work interior whatever you can think of I probably have somebody except for plumbers plumbers are hard plumbers don't answer they're busy they're busy they're so busy they're like we don't well that's the problem we don't have a lot of people in the trades I think that I think we're changing that I think the tech schools around here are really fostering um going into a trade at this point and we're uh bolstering those numbers but right now we just don't have the the numbers and then putting people over to the islands n Tucket Martha's Vineyard those are better paying jobs probably so they're going over there and we're like hey we need people here yeah can I can you install my sink please my faucet and they're like yeah no I'm going to net today or we can send out Jared I don't know how great it's gonna be he's amazing he's amazing I'm like hey uh you know I found this very intricate SN and a faucet I need you to put it together he's like H okay I do that to my husband too I overestimate his abilities he can actually get it done he's one of those kind of people that can like read a book and then just all of a sudden do that project yeah yeah yeah that's see that's Jared like yeah yeah he's he's so smart I I'm like here's this new light install it he's like okay see because he's also a former gamer or still is like a game guy no he's still yeah he that's that's what he does so like they read the directions they they know the rules you know that's they're good at putting things together a puzzle oh absolutely I can't read directions for even to save my life no that's by add that's different I'm like oh so we're going to start here but let me read at the end and like see thean says but I'm G to skip the whole middle why are there extra pieces I don't know yeah so there's extra screws there I don't know how that happened but this thing is waddly can you fix it that is me always calling in for reinforcements because I didn't read the rules yeah I gave it a shot a very slim shot and it didn't work no I'm I'm the activities coordinator I'm not the put it together person yeah I'm the person who found this and that should be enough that's right I brought us to the table Yeah Cindy rolls up and she's like you got a fat squirrel living in your tree I think that thing was the one that was

no yesterday was supposed to be my day off oh it didn't happen and I'm finally waking up today and not having to use Advil because I have my wisdom teeth out last week how you're you're amazing how are you how are you here right now it was terrible yeah that's the worst experience it was terrible and I told my husband to get a video of me coming out of anesthesia but he didn't oh no he said it wasn't cute so I told thank you that's adorable well you know um when you're after anesthesia you think you look cute but you're really not I knew I was I look like a gremlin oh yeah and the minute he handed me ice cream I said no words and just sat there like pawing at it because I had like the noon time surgery so I couldn't eat for 24 hours before Oh that's the worst so it was like a TR like 36 hours with no food and there's Stephanie coming out of anesthesia eating ice cream like a gremlin so yeah I'm kind of glad I don't have that as a video but at the same time I wanted the video yeah I mean could have been good momento right I could have chosen to keep it to myself right or post it exactly like and follow right here look at my video I know my my kids yell at me all the time about all the stuff that I post mom you did me dirty is usually what I hear from my son it's not it's not even funny my kids my friends now troll your Facebook page to get bad photos of me because they know you'll post them you should be like okay brother no I said you're welcome brother brother brother Emily said Cliff you had one job right dropped the ball I wanted to see the videos yeah God when I got my wisdom teeth out they um the doctor was like H we can do two now and two later or we can do all four right now done and I said you know what all four right now sounds great and I look like uh the squirrel outside for two weeks I had a good tip so big from Julie uh at the mash B chamber she said put ice in nylons and wrap them around your head so I literally did oh okay and it it kept the swelling down so kudos to you Julie also Mark fan told me to sleep sitting up and I did both of those things oh yeah I did just so I basically like strapped the the things to my head and like bolstered my back up and I did I really didn't sleep all that well it was a fever dream for a solid two and a half days of Advil yeah but it did they didn't even give me any good drugs I just yeah dropping the ball right yeah it was just me and Advil crying in my bed not cute that's rough yeah so I get why he didn't videotape it I'm okay with it um what else is going on in the world oh the spiders talk about it well I saw that spiders use their webs as microphones yeah they're that's pretty cool that's how they talk to each other which makes sense spiders are cool and I want one of my house a jumping spider but Jared said no because they're scary is that an El Salvador thing no where did jumping spiders come from why would you want one of those things I hate because I Googled them and they're so cute have you seen them I'm gonna send you a picture no please don't because I they're adorable along with my husband have a little bit of arachnophobia my husband's is full on Arachnophobia oh wow to be fair I have to give you the origin story of that okay I want to hear it his Aunt Autumn who used to wear for uh the local radio station that I came from uh she did the morning show there she was also a clown okay and used to run the Falmouth movie theater okay so when Cliff was growing up Arachnophobia came out and she gave him some popcorn and she let him sit in the movie theater and watch it by himself oh no I get oh traumatized the pork for Cliff so Cliff has forever had a Arachnophobia now fast forward to working for the cable company and going into having to go into crawl spaces and little areas where those suckers Live rly Well yeah not a good time we'll just say that I'm this I'm the spider killer around here oh okay that makes sense a bag of frozen peas works too yes it does Dave yes it does um so yeah we we we don't love spiders around here but what on the honor of the name of the Lord would make you want to have a jumping spider they're tiny and choose a corner of you know their domain and then decorate it with the exoskeleton and the bodies of their enemies so it's it's a cute decoration so imagine somebody comes in and you know for food I I love to cook so I invite someone like oh plus please look at that corner right there decorated by my jumping spider they decorate with the bodies of their enemies the EXO skeletons yeah Jared's like please no that's gross we're not having that 100% siding with Jared on this one can't believe it I think your husband's got the right idea don't listen honey if you're looking if you're watching don't listen don't listen to her don't listen to her it's okay you are such a good cook we have been dying to get together and something inevitably always goes wrong when Cindy invites me over for ramen it's almost like a a cataclysmic joke I have been dying ramen's one of my family's favorite foods oh wow and um you know we've got one place in town it's a little bougie and I feel like it's not real regular Ramen it does the job but I need some Cindy Ramen mine is the real Ramen yeah right right because you got to do the bone broth it takes a while yeah yeah you gotta cook the sucker overnight and let it sit right do the right um the kbo and all that yum mixture so you can mix the two broths and you'll go to like Boston to get like the good stuff yeah yeah wish why don't we have an Asian market here um it's in quiny I know right we should have seriously and I know a lot of chefs that would love to have something like that around here that thing is living in the future if you go if you go there um instead of having a piece of paper with the pricing they have tablets with the pricing and if they need to update it they just send the signal update the pricing so they don't have to keep removing tags that's so smart super smart but but be aware that you walk in and you get hit by a wave of smells oh yeah because there's there's a fish market in there and the Fish Market is it's it's aggressive Aroma it's an AG yeah once you once you're in there and you make your way into the veggies are like okay I can breathe used to it you get used to it yeah I can breathe heavy now but then you make your way around to that uh fish SE section and you're like ah it's back it's yep yep full-blown it is it is a heavy space but if you've not gotten to check that Quincy Market out it's it's pretty spectacular yeah y it hits you I'm going next week to that area they have a farmers market and since we're just starting in Mash P um I've found and connected with a bunch of of other Farmers Market managers and I'm going to you know watch uh a functioning Farmers Market from they've been doing it I don't even know probably since the beginning of time so I I'm G to see the lay of

there's there's so much uh diversity culture diversity yeah just like different foods I get so annoyed and bored yeah no they don't get me wrong we've got plenty of good food around here there's not a shortage of that clearly I'm fine um I like flavors yeah flavor is important and um I don't know I kind of get bored a little bit with the offerings of uh the local stuffing shop here yeah yeah I'm like oh it's the it's the same leaves the same what can you make out of this yeah yeah but when I go out there there's like Thai Basil and Thai eggplant which is great for the for the curries yum so

political world and uh for me it's the natural progression of my many years of service to my country my County my state and my town and uh again it's just the natural progression of my 30 years to service um serving my nation and uh my community and it's just the next step how do you feel like you've you've done differently from others I don't know what they've been doing but for me just putting the time and I've I have been attending as many committee and board meetings as I can um I've been putting the time in people have texted me they're like Tom I see you everywhere I'm attending and uh just getting to know so here I've been in town for a long time you know my first visit to fouth was in 1979 and um I honestly thought I knew quite a few people thousands of uh relationships I've established over the years and this journey has brought me just in a New Direction uh having the opportunity to meet so many new people uh so many great discussions so many different perspectives and for me it's been humbling in what way do you think it's just because you you thought you knew and then when you put yourself out there you're like I this is wild I now know way more yes exactly you just summed it up seriously I see you absolutely everywhere in every kind of group uh you've been out there shaking hands kissing babies and talking to people to figure out what the pulse of Falmouth is and um you've got a you've got a tough road tomorrow talk about the anxiety you got are you a little nervous about tomorrow or are you like I'm ready I've done all I can do I mean you should always have butterflies because it's it's important it should be important to you but I've also I've uh haven't left any stone unturned I have done as much as I possibly can and along with every one of my supporters who have put the time in uh in so many different ways you know I I call it the uh so when I coached I called it the 12th man all those other people behind the scenes who put the work in and uh I've been fortunate I've had I've had an army of people behind me uh helping me with this so uh we've all put the time in yeah and uh we're looking forward to Great results you know I always say win win or lose it's it's been a great journey obviously I want to be sitting in that seat two great uh you know opponents uh I've met both of them both good people um but uh I'm ready to serve all right and I'm ready to put the time in tell me a voter that's on the evence going into to vote tomorrow why I should choose Tom z um this is how I've people like how do you handle problems Tom and and I put it real simple I listen to the people I do I meet people at coffee shops we chat then I listen to The Experts and then I make an informed decision and like I've told people it's a very simple and effective way but it's been something useful to me for years um always getting results and um um and establishing all those relationships over the years have helped me as well um but I'm approachable and I think I'm a relatable to people and um I urge people if you're on the fence uh get in touch with me let's have a cup of coffee and um I'll listen and I'll work hard I know you will you've been out there working extremely hard long hours out everywhere uh tomorrow is the day so what time do people start voting until when and where I believe it's 7: am. you know I thought it was 8 to8 um I thought it was 7: amm but everybody has their own pre precincts there's nine precincts uh in town I believe eight voting locations I have them in my phone later on today I'm going to put my signs out move my design signs over to those locations and um what I do ask of people after you vote whether it's uh 30 minutes before or after and um and that anytime I put something like that out to the community I've gotten great results so uh I'm just asking for your help and I'm asking uh for your vote tomorrow Toms I I know you've got a full day of uh activities I know your daughter's coming into town to support you which I'm really excited to see her and uh we're looking for good results tomorrow win or lose I will be uh celebrating you tomorrow for all of your hard work and the

his uh remote office at this point so if you want to talk to him and you're in the Falmouth area and you're kind of on the fence about voting and you've got questions go talk to him so approachable so likable I bumped into him a few years ago um at one of my trivas and uh we were just talking about making some changes for other organizations and then 5 seconds later he's like he was unhappy about something and he's like you know what the only way I'm going to make a change is if I do something about it and he threw threw himself into politics wow and I feel like that is just such a good local story if you're sick of the way things are run to really put your money where your mouth is and do something absolutely yeah good for him I know incredible Dreams yeah yep make yep so if you're in Falmouth make a little change good morning Erin so good to see you did you survive prom I want to know moms I'm just curious uh Bri hi looking forward to seeing you this week we've got a full boatload

working and he went downstairs and it shorted oh no he's downstairs with all like when when you see us out in public doing some of our stuff we hand crop all of our stuff and if there's electronics
