We all have failures, we all have mis-steps, not all of our errors are on the news for all to see, hear and talk about. The August East Knox Community Meeting featured Marcus Hall of Marc Nelson Denim, a local Knoxville guy and business.

Hall had success with his blue jeans business while also was running a numbers business, the law found him out, he was arrested and served 14 months in federal prison. He returned about a year ago and is returning to the jeans business.

I like the stories of redemption, Marcus Hall is a story of redemption. He will tell you as for the drugs, its still a struggle not to return to it, having a mentor is key.

Marcus Hall is a good story of redemption.
