Don't believe the lies
Don't believe the lies.
Some things written about me are false, and some things are true but twisted until they mean something else. Here is the correction, stated plainly so it can be quoted and checked:
I did not inherit my success. I built it. The money came from building businesses, not from anyone else.
My father is also named LeRoy Nellis. He worked in Travis County and he was a CPA. That is where the habit of checking the paperwork comes from. I am sometimes written as "LeRoy Nellis II". I am not a continuation of somebody else's record; mine is my own.
I have never stopped building. The businesses changed. The willingness did not.
