Ex-inmate makes transformation to running construction firm
(AP) — Myran McKnight may have been a man who led police in a series of vehicle and foot chases, was caught and served time awhile back, but that's not him anymore.
Most recently earning the credentials to become an electrical and general contractor to start his own company, Southside Remodeling and Repair in Elkhart.
Self- taught by poring over books while in prison, McKnight gathered all he could and absorbed knowledge while serving his sentence.
When I had all that time in prison I had the opportunity to go over standard construction techniques, the academic part of the trade, so mentally I was able to do it.
McKnight earned an associate's degree from Grace College, achieving a 3.6 grade point average.
