My family inspires me to be the breadwinner. Giving my 6 grandsons and 3 granddaughters a foundation to own their own. But to know the old school, and learn the new to take Franklin’s Automotive to a new level. They have the clientel, Beautiful completely A/C building, and my name and reputation

How do you stay motivated?

It's in my DNA, in school, my bro/I swooped days between one pair of shoes made all A’s. walked 20 miles back and forth to work to buy a car, that same spirit my daddy drilled in me, is even stronger today, to provide for my family is my total goal and show them to be independent

What would you do with the $25,000?

Install a new computer system and an automatic heavy-duty lift, and I would love to add a towing service to the business. I know it would take more than $25,000. I would love to do one big thing for my backbone, my wife, who deserves more and above. She has scraped and added to the shop, including floors, so pretty you don’t want to work on them. It's an out-of-the-ordinary, look for a Black-owned business. Professional and nice
