Every business has a story to tell.
We want to help share yours.
My parents and grandparents were small business owners. My grandpa helped found an aeronautical hinge company. My dad ran a welding company on the side. And my mom did taxes from home. All of their efforts taught me the value of working for yourself. I grew up to realize that there is a certain magic in small business owners. Most people can barely earn enough money to pay their own bills each month. Yet as a business owner, you generate enough revenue to pay for several people. Those people are able to pay rent, buy cars, have kids, send their kids to school... If you don't know this yet. Or if no one has told you this...You are amazing! Good job! From that place of awe and admiration, I would like to help share your stories. I don't feel enough local and small businesses are afforded the ability to share their story. I want to do my part to change that. No one told my grandfather's story. I want to share yours.
