Jim Acho Attends HOF Induction of Client Randy Gradishar with another CMDA Client, John Cuschieri
Jim Acho and CMDA have proudly represented more than a dozen Pro Football Hall of Famers on a variety of issues for well over 2 decades. The most recent client inductee happened this last weekend as Randy Gradishar, the Ohio State and Denver Broncos legendary middle linebacker who tallied more than 2000 tackles in 10 seasons (which puts him just behind Ray Lewis as the NFL’s all time tackler), was enshrined in Canton, OH. CMDA partner Jim Acho, who serves as Randy Gradishar’s attorney, was a guest of Randy’s for the induction and weekend festivities. On Thursday prior to the HOF game, in an interview on NFL Network radio Jim provided comments on how Randy’s induction was long overdue, as well as the election process: https://tinyurl.com/2y3pw6r3
Attending all the events with Jim was another CMDA client, John Cuschieri, Vice President of Minnesota Title Agency (MTA) in Livonia. At one of the weekend’s events, Mr. Cuschieri was recognized by 2-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin (Gradishar’s co-captain at Ohio State) as the now all-time winningest youth football coach in Michigan history, a special moment for Mr. Cuschieri, who has coached CYO and Pop Warner teams in metro Detroit for 33 years and won multiple titles. CMDA and MTA have done business together for more than 40 years, when MTA founder Paul Cuschieri first retained CMDA founder Ron Acho. Said Jim Acho: “John has been my best friend since 1979 and, sadly, is probably better looking than any plus-one I’d have tried to take to these events with me anyway, so what I got in laughs and good times made up for the rest. Seriously, though, he’s the best.”
