ST. LOUIS (KMOV/Gray News) - A teenager with cerebral palsy has become an entrepreneur by creating his very own hot sauce.
Drew Davis’s Crippling Hot Sauce started as a high school business project. The teacher told him that while the idea was great, it was a little unrealistic.
Two years later, Davis has sold his Crippling Hot Sauce in grocery stores and online. The company has made over $2 million in sales.
The sauce, which was first made by hand in his parents' kitchen, is now made by a commercial manufacturer. Crippling Hot Sauce also has 12 employees.
Davis is also doing good with his hot sauce and donated $22,000 to cerebral palsy research.
