Meet the Author
Everyone has a story to tell, but few would prove to be as profound
and inspirational as that of Mr. Kenneth Brown. He had every excuse
to choose a life of failure. At the ages of 13 and 14, his parents
had their first child. In spite of being poverty-stricken and
evicted ten times, Ken parents still emphasized the importance of
education, faith and a strong work ethic.
Starting his journey in less than ideal circumstances, his focus
and hunger for excellence, has led to monumental personal and
professional opportunities. As one of the youngest African American
McDonalds owners and operators, Ken has proven to be a formidable
presence in the arena of entrepreneurial accomplishment.
Ken worked his way through college as a bus boy and waiter
graduating from Southern Illinois University. His story is a modern
day rags to riches story that he hopes will inspire and motivate
his readers to live out their dreams.
