David Williams is a successful business owner who turned what many would call a trying and unfortunate childhood into one of the most successful painting businesses in the country. Dropping out of school in the ninth grade, David says, is what placed him in the position to realize the joy of being married at seventeen to his childhood sweetheart, shortly thereafter. After retiring, he turned to the fulfillment of another goal of writing his life story in this book, "The Long Road Here", that others urged him to pursue. After realizing that he had more material, he decided to write a second book dedicated solely to the painting business titled: "Nuggets For the Painters Soul, The Ultimate Guide to Starting and Growing A Painting Business." David and Mary share their story with the hope that others may be inspired in business and life when they realize "Your past does not have to define your future."
