For the past 12 years I have been working with parents of children and adults with disabilities. In 2017 Solomon's Porch Light, a non profit organization, was established to assist individuals with disabilities find employment after graduating from high school.
My team and I discovered there was a need to establish employment for individuals who were considered unemployable or could not further their education. We discovered that individuals with disabilities have a passion to be creative, innovative, and most importantly they want to be self-sufficient and contribute to their communities.
Solomon's Porch Light provides resources and training to help them reach their goals.
This month's entrepreneur is James Parker. His business, Shredding On The Go, a small business in Houston, Texas has become well known in the Houston community. His hard work and passion in becoming a successful business person has inspired many individuals in owning their own business. Visit his website at www.shreddingonthego.com to learn more about his story.

Shredding on the Go is unique. In 2010—with the help of friends and family—James Parker started a shredding business. Though James has intellectual and physical disabilities, he brings a passion for shredding, contagious smile and readiness for work that make him a natural entrepreneur. SOTG has grown into a nationally recognized disability-owned shredding company. Today, the business employs 15 team members—all of which have disabilities—each bringing their own unique gifts and unwavering determination to the business. For many of them, this is their first chance to earn a paycheck.
