History
J Morris Enterprises, LLC, began with a focus on family. We wanted and needed to figure out a way to take care of the needs and wants of our family. We wanted to take the work ethnic that we had developed working for others and apply it to adding value to the lives of others through our company. So, we walked away from our jobs, sold every item in our rental house, packed up and moved to Juanita’s hometown of Decatur.
We continue to work to build a company and offer services that we believe in. We develop programming and offer services that truly bring us joy. Our clients have been and continue to be amazing. We are thankful that we have an opportunity to impact our community and change lives through employment and services provided.
Mission
To create and provide services tailored to the needs of each client
Vision
To grow into a company that takes full advantage of diversity of thought and capital; providing uncompromising services in the quest to secure a legacy for future generations.
