The story behind the dream

Beck-Nemeth Enterprises started out with one small 1024sqm plot of Linden Mainland on the Umansky sim, and has since grown beyond all expectations of the founding members Fortyniner Beck and Sorka Nemeth - and still continues to go from strength to strength.

Beck-Nemeth Enterprises is a far cry now from that single piece of land that Sorka struggled to terraform - with approximately two and a half sims of mainland split between them Beck-Nemeth has now grown to a point it is impossible to look after it with just two people and Forty and Sorka have had to hire friends to help look after their 30+ tenants.

As well as being business partners - Sorka and Forty have been married in Secondlife since 2nd May 2007 and are long-term real life friends.

The faces of Beck-Nemeth Enterprises

	Fortyniner Beck brought the first parcel of land with the vision of putting a small parade of shops on it, however it didn't take long for Sorka to convince him that the setting was more suited to residential use. As Sorka gathered more land on Umansky and started to mould it to her vision - Forty withdrew from Umansky and turned his attention to ventures on other sims, including Walleye where he has built a highly successful (for all concerned) mall area.

	Sorka Nemeth is the other half of the partnership, and creator of Tranquility Bay Resort. As well as running Tranquility Bay Resort with the help of her staff, Sorka sidelines making her own range of products, turning her hand to all manner of items including furniture, clothes, houses, jewellery and most recently wedding accessories. In addition to this, she also owns and runs "The Moonglow Ballroom" and "Isn't it Romantic" - two highly popular dating spots in Secondlife and tries to help any Newbies she comes across.

	Moteand Bailey is the first of the managers. A friend of Forty's, he started out being a tenant on Walleye where he opened "Bailey's Botanicals" selling, pretty, reasonably priced flowers. As a friend & long-standing tenant, Forty asked him to assist with the everyday management of the commercial side of Beck-Nemeth Enterprises - Mote was only too happy to accept the extra responsibility. Mote is also engaged to the other manager for BNE, Zenobia Fimicoloud.

	Zenobia Fimicoloud is the other manager. She also had her first store on Walleye where her main store for "Paws 4 Thought" still stands, though she now has multiple stores (most of them on developments owned & run by Forty). While looking for somewhere to build her skybox garden, Sorka offered her the space & prims in return for her help in managing Traquility Bay Resort. Zen loved the sim & spent a lot of time there, so it was natural for her to accept the generous offer.
