Nathan Katz, who runs Kaktus Productions with his wife Toby

Nathan Katz and Toby Kay

I am a business owner, an entrepreneur and a general fix-it guy, and I started Kaktus Productions in 2000. It has never been a company in the legal sense — there is no corporation behind the name. It is my wife Toby and me, and everything connected to it is owned by us personally. KaktusProductions.com came later, as somewhere to show what the business was involved with, and it is one name in a portfolio that has grown steadily since — a few of those domains have been held since 2000.

The two halves of the work split the way they always have. Toby writes the quitclaim deed sites. She was a real estate broker licensed in Arizona, California and Nevada, and she was the designated broker of the brokerage we owned and ran together here in Arizona — she was the boss, I was a sales associate who looked after the back office. She is retired now and is not an attorney, which the sites say plainly. What she brings is decades of watching the same avoidable mistakes hold up the same filings. I handle the publishing, the domains and the technical side.

Early on I had thoughts of building an income-producing website out of all this. Time caught up with me instead. These days I would rather a good name went to somebody with the energy to build something on it than sat unused in my portfolio, which is why they are listed here with prices rather than tucked away.

Email is my preferred form of communication. I developed a hearing problem in my 80th year and avoid the telephone whenever possible — you have probably seen the television commercial for hearing aids where the father keeps answering “WHAT – WHAT”. That is more or less me on the phone these days. Write to me instead and you will get a proper answer, usually within one business day.
