Today we’d like to introduce you to Henry Peterson.
HENRY, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
For a brief, while I was in a gang, sold drugs, and also smoked them. Over 20 years ago, I gave my life to Christ and a change took place. I always worked with my hands and like to fix things. I started out working for the city of fort worth for 13 years, and then I worked for sears for eight years. Three years ago, I had a heart attack and found myself without a job. I did small jobs here and there but realized I could have my own business if I just had a vehicle to do it in. In October 2018 god touched the heart of a millionaire to sow into me a transit van to get my business started. Also, with the money, he gave me I was able to get all the startup things I needed. He has also been there to give me business knowledge on how to be successful. Since then, I now have six contracts with different warranty company’s, and I also do COD calls. I am the first in my family to be a business owner in a lineage that every male in my family ended up in prison, but the generational curse stopped with me. I am also a pastor of the word of faith deliverance ministries 5201 Davis Blvd in North Richland Hills. Tx 76180, and have been the senior pastor for 12 years. I have been married to Anddrein Peterson for 25 years. I have three children Marquice Peterson, Montreal Peterson, and Keondra Jenkins. I have two grandchildren Malajha Peterson and trinity cheeks. I am also a co-author of a book entitled “don’t count me out” that was released in 2018 with my wife. This book talks about my childhood and how I suffered physical and mental abuse, molestation, and living a life on the streets, but I made it out by the grace of God!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has not been a smooth road because fear always tries to creep in and make you doubt that you can be successful because of all the things you have lost in your past. Fear makes you think that it’s all going to crumble right before your eyes. Fear makes you think that you don’t deserve greatness and to be happy. So these are things that I have to fight with because I know I don’t walk in fear and it doesn’t have a place in my life.
Another challenge has been building a clientele outside of the warranty companies. Getting my business name out there so people will know who I am and the services I offer.
