June is Immigrant Heritage Month.. Today
immigration reform efforts are so badly needed. The US is still the land
of opportunity yet our current immigration structure is modeled for the years
my great grandparents migrated to this country.
My father is a second generation immigrant from Germany and Holland. My great grandparents who came America with a dream and worked hard to benefit from the land of opportunity. I look back at my great grandfather who own the general store in the 1940's (see photo attached) and my grandmother who ran her business in the 1950's.(See photo attached) Many of my family members have their own businesses today. Being raised in a community of small businesses rather than big companies and department store chains gives me an appreciation of the passion and investment that is put into building a dream. This requires endless hours of dedication to keep it going to support many families in a community.

I continue the legacy of my
family after spending many years in corporate America. My inner passion
is to help small business owner achieve their dreams. I
have a great appreciation for the efforts of my forefathers and the communities
they built. Today my family continues as a small business providing
services to their community and working hard to build for next
generations. Technology has changed the small business landscape that
could be weight in columns of pros and cons. In addition government
regulations have multiplied adding to the list of cost for small
business. Stocking the shelves and turning over the OPEN sign on the
store door has been long gone in the steps of starting a business like my great
grandparents.
My great grandparents were able
to open the store after working in their homeland to fund the trip to the
America AND then passing the medical exam. Being turned away meant
going back, working hard to raise the funds and making the voyage again. Today
many of the future forefathers come for an education then they
develop an opportunity to make next Big Fruit technology, … but the
current immigration structure doesn't enable this new concept to gain
traction so the concept is sent packing.
As an beneficiary of immigrants
I have built Superior
Compliance Solutions LLC to help and support the efforts of small
businesses.. We desire to see startups and small businesses grow by
balancing so many of the government regulations.. It is fulfilling to serve
those like my great grandparents, grandparents, and parents that dedicate hard
work to building a dream.
