My business history dates back to 1962 when I opened my first retail clothing store on Holcombe Blvd. (across from the Shamrock Hilton) in Houston, TX. From this one 1200 sq ft store, I grew the business to 15 stores in Houston, New Orleans, and New York. I was fortunate enough to find key employees who supported my efforts. Today, I remain in the retail business as well as the real estate business.
