Richie Frost
So little in today’s world do we see true personal drive. Instead, it has been replaced by the mediocrity of a lazy America, people who are so often unmotivated to innovate, challenge themselves, and push the envelope of our ever changing world. Richie Frost, an entrepreneur by leaps and bounds, embodies determination. A shining bulb in the dark, Richie first shone bright in 2007, when at the age of 18 he attempted to start his first business: a graphic design T-shirt company called Simply Hectic that despite his best efforts did not make it to fruition.
Despite the setback, a few years later after refusing to admit defeat, Richie started another company with a partner called Just Out Just In. Specializing in selling Electro-luminescent T-shirts, the company was successfully created but failed because of under capitalization. He recently started a new e-commerce college discount card business which he launched in December 2009.
Currently Richie is attending the University of Central Florida in Orlando where he will get his bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a minor in Hospitality.
