Our Roots
I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, so business has always been a part of my life. At 13, I jumped into the family business, helping deliver muffins and cupcakes to convenience stores across Houston. In our family, it was tradition to start early—whatever the business, you rolled up your sleeves and learned it from the ground up.
What started with just $500 turned into the largest distribution network in the area, eventually growing into a multi-million-dollar operation. It was an exciting time full of challenges, growth, and pride. But when the 2008 recession hit and margins started shrinking, we had to make some tough decisions. We built a successful exit plan, transitioned out, and for over a decade became silent partners reaping the fruit of our labor.
