Since birth Kendall V.
Fontenot was never the type to limit himself nor his potential to the stereotyped views of others.
Fontenot was clearly an independent, out-of-the-box thinker, from the time he was a little tot.
Fontenot was only seven years old when he first stumbled across the laws of supply, demand and profit.
His very first foray into the realm of business began at school, as a precocious pencil salesman--serving his peers' insatiable appetite for demolishing pencils in a popular kid's game.
After discovering how to turn one quarter into two, it was as if young Fontenot had discovered an enthralling new magic trick, called business.
Fascinated now, young Fontenot dedicated his entire childhood to tinkering with business idea after business idea, to create profit for himself--and to financially unburden his mother after his parents' painful separation.
Dealing with all of the regular coming-of-age challenges that a young man faces in school, family, and neighborhood life, Fontenot somehow managed to carve out a business schooling of his own making.
Amidst it all, he kept himself in a perpetual state of experimentation and self-learning around the laws of business.
Facing setback after setback, challenge after challenge, each year of Fontenot's developing life became the priceless lessons and the pearls of wisdom that would ultimately make him a self-made millionaire by the tender age of twenty.
Born African-American, male, and one of two children in a single parent Baton Rouge, Louisiana home isn't typically known as the road to riches--but Fontenot's memoir reveals he's not the type to look for well worn paths or commonly traveled roads; instead, he believes in paving roads where there are none.
Kendall never liked being shunned, dismissed or underestimated because he was young.
He believed and continues to believe that hard work, good work and achievement is all the merit one needs regardless of age.
Now, as a young successful African American entrepreneu.
