Jodi Velazquez was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She graduated from Robert Morris University with a bachelor degree in marketing communications with an emphasis on writing skills. After graduating, Jodi left Pittsburgh to accompany her husband who accepted a job in Texas with the government. In Texas, she worked for the local paper as a graphic artist and briefly in the editorial department. After two years, her husband received a promotion and the couple moved to New York. There, Jodi worked as an account executive selling television commercial time for a cable company. After three years and the birth of their first child, her husband again accepted another promotion and they left for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was in Philadelphia that their daughter of 19 months was diagnosed with type-one diabetes. This brought a hardship transfer and they moved back to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After their return to Pittsburgh and the birth of their second child, Jodi began writing the Slick Move Guide. After writing and self-publishing the Slick Move Guide in 2007, she began marketing the book to various organizations and corporations. A major home builder purchased hundreds of copies but the real estate market was declining. She began searching for other industries with a need for the product. The Slick Move Guide was originally written to help families that are personally financing their own relocation. Trying to think of what families move often, she began marketing the book to sports teams for the players and their spouses/partners/families. One of the teams placed a large order and she realized there was a need. Player development directors liked the idea of a consumer written guide for players who were entering or departing from their team. She established a relationship with several player development directors of major sports teams. They began offering suggestions, mishaps and dilemmas that players encountered, to add to her book. After two years of compiling this information, she released a customized version, Slick Move Guide Professional Athlete edition in 2012. Although the book was developed with sports professionals it's also of value to anyone who may be making a career transition for the first time or multiple times. One of the differences between the Athlete edition and the original Slick Move Guide is that vital inside information that pertains to an athlete’s unique situation such as moving quickly and possibly temporarily for your career has been added. Both guides are easy to read, and offer eco-friendly packing advice and explain how to choose a quality mover. These spiral-bound, lightweight workbooks contain valuable, stress reducing timelines. Jodi has made moving your possessions inexpensive and stress-free!
