  1. As a black Dallas contractor who founded my construction company one year after being diagnosed with HIV in Germany in 1995, I needed MLKs dream to come true after my newlywed and I married in Carrolton, Tx. January 1996.

    My German newlywed, Viola, inspired me to beat uncontionable odds after I founded my construction company in December 1996!
    After hurdling a $220,000 default in 1997 by a black contractor, my company went on to gross $2.5 million the next five years, opening the door to the American dream!!
