When I first found out I had HIV, I had to find somebody who was living with it, who could help me understand my journey and what I was going to have to deal with day-to-day. I found out that a person named Elizabeth Frazier was living with AIDS at the time, and so I called her up, and she took a meeting with me.

I really want people to know that I've worked hard, very hard, to get to where I am today.. this didn't just happen overnight. I started in business over 25 years ago and have found a way to build on what I've learned through every partnership and opportunity.

The worst moment from all of this was driving from that doctor's office, to tell my wife that I was HIV positive.

If you hate to lose, you do whatever you need to do to make sure you're business is successful.

My father is my idol, so I always did everything like him. He used to work two jobs and still come home happy every night.

If the community is happy, then they support your business and if your business is doing well, then you can give back even more to the community.

I only know how to play two ways: reckless and abandon.
