Who is JL?
About The Author J.L. Tatum was only 5 years old when he began working in his family’s retail bakery in Alabama — his father placed him atop a box to reach the cash register so he could wait on customers. By the time he was 12 he had become a master cake decorator and baker. Since that time, J.L. has started, grown and sold a number of his own businesses, acquiring a vast amount of knowledge and experience along the way. In addition to interests in the oil industry, he spent more than a decade as the owner and operator of a radio station and two car dealerships. He worked as a financial writer for 20 years, preparing proposals for corporations seeking investment capital funding. He also served as a consultant to two major banks in their credit card/merchant processing divisions. He is currently enjoying the challenges and rewards of several different businesses.
