Between these two, he had a son whose birth he couldn’t witness because he was in prison and then lost his brother to an auto crash- he was riding a bike under the influence. He would go on to tell me how he got in trouble with the law and spent time in prison, not once but twice- first for resisting arrest after he was pulled up for a DUI and second for another DUI. I was still a teenager when I started making good money with no idea what to do with it,” he said. In Dallas, I was doing a lot from personal training and body building to taking up several shifts at Night Clubs.

Perhaps, my dreams were to big for Sherman to handle. “That trip was important to me,” he said. Committed to break that cycle, he left for Dallas after his High School education. He and his brother lived in a foster home in a town where nothing really changed. The past he alluded to was one that began in Sherman, a suburban town in Texas.

I was even more impressed by how he turned a rather ugly past into a beautiful story- an example for aspiring entrepreneurs to learn from.

The first time I heard his story, I was amazed and inspired by his resilience, focus and business acumen.
