I was a little different. I still say Im a little different, because success to me is not having the most money, or having the biggest car or the biggest house.

I was determined to make Renaissance Man Food Services and Herschel's Famous 34 major players in a very tough industry.

SUCCESS is being able to come home, lay your head on the pillow and SLEEP in PEACE.

As a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.

When I feel good about myself, things start happening for myself. When you look up, you go up.

Believing that no one is better than the other. You know I grew up in the South. My senior year there was a very big racial tension.

Growing up, I started developing confidence in what I felt. My parents helped me to believe in myself. I wasn't the best looking guy, I wasn't the best athlete in the world, but they made me feel good about myself.
