Stephen Hightower: Remember Your Roots

The American Dream is the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success.

Stephen Hightower is the perfect representation of the American Dream.

Stephen is an experienced Chief Operating Officer with a demonstrated history of working in the oil & energy industry.

He grew up with humble beginnings but through persistence, drive, and determination, he was able to transform Hightowers Petroleum into the fast-growing, high achieving company that it is now.

Don't be fooled because he didn't do it all by himself. Stephen was gracious enough to discuss with us the person that inspired him to be the successful entrepreneur he is today and how he's going to help change the world during the "new normal."
