I’m a proud Chicagoan and I come from a traditional family structure. I’m a husband and father and brother, I try to be a leader and mentor. I’m an employer, and I’m constantly trying to learn– I don’t have all the answers. I have a few. And at the end of the day, it’s all about providing opportunities. I think, ultimately, I’ll be fine. I’ve had a level of success and I’m comfortable with that, but for me to take this to the next level, you have to bring some people along with you who are as committed and pay them well.
For those who want to take the journey, and work their ass off, we’ve got jobs. Tell me a company that’s hired 600 plus people in the last two years? There aren’t many; definitely not many by someone of color.
