Career
Tamposi played an integral role in bringing many Fortune 500 companies to New Hampshire, such as Fidelity Investments, Anheuser Busch, Coca-Cola, Raytheon, Sylvania, Sun Chemical, Kollsman Instrument and Honeywell. Samuel Tamposi was born in Nashua, New Hampshire in 1924 to Romanian parents who came to the United States. Though Tamposi grew up on a farm, his interests soon shifted to sales.
In the mid 1950s, when Nashua’s Textron plant shut down, Tamposi moved his business to real estate, investing most of his money in an abandoned building.
He later sold the building and used the capital to develop a building for McCallister Scientific. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Tamposi and Nash developed over 120 acres (049 km2) of commercial and industrial land per year, close to half of New Hampshire’s economic growth in that time.
Williams soon became a spokesperson for Tamposi and Nash’s new planned Floridian community, Citrus Hills. The development, 70 miles (110 km) north of Tampa, has since boomed, and become one of central Florida’s premiere country club communities.
