A Private Life

Don't get me wrong here, I've had an amazing life, the last thing that I want anyone to think is that this book, My Private Life, is about sour grapes. I consider myself a true American red-blooded capitalist like all other good Americans. This book is about my experiences growing up, my experiences fighting back and growing up to become the best that I can be.
Growing up black in the South, I felt that I had the cards stacked against me from the start. Despite that, I managed to get an education, join the United States Marine Corps and start a successful company. I'm not afraid of hard work either. I paid for tuition by picking up trash after school, delivering papers before school and working in a shipyard. I owned a boutique, ran and built a successful company from the ground with my own blood, sweat and tears.
There are a million different ways that my life could have turned out, but I wouldn't change it for anything. This is my story, My Private Life, I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed living it.
