After living six months in New Jersey in 2019, I decided to return to New York at the beginning of 2020 to the despise of my family, who believed I was taking a bold step since I've only moved to the USA two years prior. I just wanted to follow my dream. What it was at that time, I wasn't certain, but New Jersey wasn't cutting it for me. I decided to move to Canarsie with my wife and two daughters, and from there on, I started my journey toward my business. It was not a walk in the park, and I knew it was never going to be because I understand the challenges that come with success. Nevertheless, Quest was going to be a manifestation.

The interconnection of getting the necessary requirements to set up a business, I'm talking about documents, permits, and funding, was so closely knitted that, at times, it was frustrating, and it took a toll on me, but I fought a good fight and exemplified persistence toward achieving my goal.

I started selling fish, then added products; I realized I could do more. I decided to bring a container of frozen items then I realized it would be unfit to bring a container of frozen items to do business but not have a location. Meanwhile, I met Mr. Harold Lutchman, a bank manager at TD Bank, who admired what I was doing, and along with my brother Delon, who was always on board with my progress, we decide to come together to open a location.

Setting that up has been the biggest challenge I've had to endure over any one-year period of my life, and to date, business is doing well, but there are still learning curves and hurdles that we will overcome to make Quest the brand it ought to be.
