Second on this maiden list is John F. Baugh, founder of SYSCO, located in Houston, Texas. The company began in 1970, doing $115 million its first year, and growing to the point that by the end of the last fiscal year, sales topped out at $26.1 billion. SYSCO, which is an acronym for Systems and Service Company—remains as one of the leaders in the food service industry. Mr. Baugh, now 88 years of age, is still hard at work within his company, continually merging his entrepreneurial gifts with his faith, just as he’s done all along—with results that certainly speak volumes about his vision.
