While he was still in high school, Jerry Lewis set four goals for himself, including to become a faith-based business owner. He just didn't think it would be in the restaurant business.
But several years later, when his brother, a McDonald's operator in their native Zanesville, Ohio, told him he needed help at the restaurant for a couple months, Lewis decided to lend a hand. After 10 years of work in various positions at McDonald's, he realized he had "ketchup in my veins," and the Bluffton, Ohio, resident hasn't looked back since.
