About The founders
Richard Williams
Richard Williams – Founder, HBHS
I was born on October 26, 1970, in Orlando, Florida. I’m a proud graduate of Jones High School in Orlando, Class of 1988. A dedicated professional and community-minded individual, I began my career in the culinary industry in 1986. Through years of hard work and commitment to this craft, I earned my certification as a professional chef in 2006. I’ve always been an involved father, a hands-on Granddad and stand up Husband, which are some of the highlights of my life.
In addition to my culinary background, I currently serve as an Operations Leader for Wonder, where I continue to demonstrate strong leadership and operational excellence.
As a founder of HBHS, an initiative rooted in pride, community, and connection among Historically Black high school alumni.
I’ve been happily married to a very supportive wife, Melvina Williams since 2015. Who has been there for me through all my endeavors. Outside of my professional life, I have a deep passion for fashion and proudly considers myself the biggest Florida Gators football fan on the planet. Above all, I find great joy and pleasure in Family, supporting, encouraging today’s youth and always striving to help guide the next generation toward success.

Mark Myers
Co-Founder of HBHS
Born July 13, 1973, a devoted father, husband, mentor, and community advocate with a lifelong commitment to uplifting and empowering young people. Born and raised in Orlando, Florida, I am a proud graduate of Evans High School class of 91, where I developed many of the values that continue to guide my life today—leadership, perseverance, and service to others are a few of my strong traits.
Throughout my life, I’ve maintained a deep connection to my community and a passion for helping the next generation succeed. As a mentor and youth sports coach, I have dedicated countless hours to guiding young athletes both on and off the field. I believe that sports provide more than competition—they teach discipline, teamwork, accountability, and confidence. My focus is on helping young people build character and life skills that extend far beyond athletics.
My work in the community reflects the belief that strong neighborhoods are built through mentorship, opportunity, and unity. Through collective initiatives, community events, and youth engagement programs, I strive to create spaces where young people can grow, connect, and discover their potential. My leadership is driven by a desire to inspire youth to believe in themselves and to understand the power they hold to shape their own futures.
In addition to my community work, I am a proud family man, a True Florida Gators Fanatic🐊. I am married to a very beautiful and compassionate, Sheree Myers… who shares my commitment to family values and community impact. Together, we believe in the importance of giving and setting a positive example for future generations.
I live by the quote that defines my philosophy and outlook on life:
“I am everything,.. and everything is me.”
This belief reflects my understanding that individuals are deeply connected to their communities, and that by investing in others, we ultimately strengthen ourselves and the world around us.
