Joe was an average person, went to school like anyone else. He came from a poor family, his father ran off when he was a wee little one. His mother was an alcoholic, his father a womanizer. He had a hard life as a kid. So when he graduated high school he enlisted in the Marines with his best friend and shipped off to Vietnam, where he was wounded in battle.
The Marines shipped Joe back to the States where he recovered (25% disabled.) While he was recovering he met a man that told him that vinyl siding was “the gold of the future.” When he was well enough to work he bought a thousand squares of vinyl siding, rented an old building and picked out a fancy name and started his own vinyl siding business. He incorporated the little business and never looked back. That was in 1976 and now he is a multi-millionaire, a member of the Nouveau Riche. He’s bought a complete storage unit facility with 400 storage units where he rents storage for the siding business and runs the storage business on a daily basis. He rents to himself, what a way to make money! It’s perfectly legal, too!
