I can remember sitting behind a great big desk at the age of eight, watching my dad negotiate vigorously with the salesman from a large appliance corporation. My father bought half a trailer load of new refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, and laundry appliances. Not only was I intrigued, I was inspired and motivated to have my own business.
Business ownership ran deep within the Belgrove family. My great, great, great aunt migrated from Barbados to Trinidad in the 1800’s and started the Belgrove Funeral parlor; a business which is still around today. My father also owned a few businesses in Trinidad before moving to New York. I admired his success and zeal so I decided to be an entrepreneur at a young age.
