We had the good fortune of connecting with Korey Dumas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Korey, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I started my own business because one thing my parents always told me growing up, was to push farther and do better than them plus detailing just felt natural to me since I was around cars a lot from my dad and uncle always working on them. And I always felt like my purpose was to do something big in my life and provide a life for my family/future family that I didn’t have and leave something for my kids and future generations so they don’t have to worry about the financial struggles I experienced growing up.

What should our readers know about your business?
I started with just a couple buckets, car shampoo, a garden hose, microfiber towels, and flyers going door to door offering my services to my neighbor’s and to fund my set up, I was flipping/reselling items I found for free or got it for cheap for profit along with some of the income I was bringing in from my 9 – 5 to fund my detailing business.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was coming to visit I’d tell him we gotta check out some of the comedy clubs they have downtown Houston and go to a couple seafood restaurants and other food truck in Katy and go to bowling alley/ arcades.

1st I wanna give thanks to god for putting me on the path I’m on and huge shoutout to my family, friends for the love and support and help and support from my professor Dylan Madden and everyone in HC.
