Meet Our Founder
King Jermaine Jones
King Jermaine Jones's story is of resilience, determination, and an unwavering drive to defy the odds. Raised in the unforgiving streets of Detroit’s West side as a foster child, he was blessed to be adopted by the Payton Jones family, who provided unwavering love and support. He emerged from the Detroit Public School system, graduated from Detroit Central High School, and continued his educational journey through college. Jones faced immense challenges from an early age that could have derailed his future and made it incredibly hard to become who he is today. However, his faith in God, critical thinking abilities, and entrepreneurial spirit burned bright, fueling his ambition to overcome.
