Dawn of a Dream...

 

As High School graduation approached, David came to his parents with the idea of growing the business while in college, because he believed that growing Southpaw Express was what he wanted to do after college. Over the next four years, David studied Business, played Baseball, and worked with the support of his family to grow the business. And, grow it did. [more...]
