    Go Frank! You and your firm are very deserving of this distinction. NuJak donated over 100 hours of labor to help maintain the historic Polk Theatre, and his men were all gracious and eager to help!

    Congratulations to Dana and Adrian Davis of RAM Surgical Instruments for the nomination and being the poll winner of the Black Enterprise 2010 Small Business of the Year! The polls were closed, but you would have received my vote too! Keep up the great work in the Dallas/ Fortworth metroplex. The LOT (Leaders of Tomorrow) family supports you.

  • Cliff Truly - 14 years ago

    Tim and Frank, I can not say that I am shocked or even the least bit caught off gaurd.
    You guys have been genuine examples of what Our Heavenly Father will do through the lives of faithful doers of the teachings of Jesus and you make it appoint to acknowledge Christ in all your ways. Even in mixed company when it may
    mean missing what looks like a sweet opportunity.
    You are my Bold Brothers, I love you and I know that you will continue to give God the glory, because eyes have not seen nor..........,,,,,,,

  • Terry - 14 years ago

  • Peggy - 14 years ago

    Adrian Davis is the epitomy (in other words, a special example) of what it takes to be successful. Adrian walks the talk; he does what he says he will do. Adrian is intelligent, humble, energetic, and trustworthy. He has grown his business step-by-step, with careful consideration and true grit. Adrian is an awesome teacher, too -- I've seen his mentorship skills in the actions of his associates and employees. In case anyone is wondering, I am a customer of Ram Surgical. Me and my team trust Adrian to take care of our needs and they do it well. They go the extra mile when other companies won't/can't do it. Ram Surgical makes it look easy. It is magical. One last thought. Adrian and his team live what we all learned in Kindergarten -- and -- we all know what that is -- the basic and good morals of life. I applaud Adrian.

  • Brenda R. - 14 years ago

    Frank, how well do I remember your struggle from ground zero breaking through the barriers of being an "outsider" in Polk County; fighting to win bids over home-grown & well established businesses.

    Wishing NuJak Companies continued success & prosperity. The best is yet to come!!!

  • Tony smith - 14 years ago

    Nujak Developement is a Firm built on nothing less than a firm foundation of excellent family, business, personal and character values both spiritual and natural. It is not consumed with the attitude or performance of mediocrity that most small businesses are complacent in. It strives for exellence and superiority as if it were a fortune 500 company. With the information provided in the article in Black Enterprise,March 2010 Editoin, I stand to say that Nujak Developement Firm stands worthy of the honor and recognition of Black Enterprise Small Business Of The Year Award.
    To all small business persons, "Never let numbers determine the output of Excellence", Anthony M. Smith. Good Success Nujak! tony t.
