Biography
Paxton Harris was born in Columbia, South Carolina on November 12th, 1977. Mr. Harris is the eldest child of two children while his younger brother Cooper Harris lives with his family in Dallas and is currently a legislator in the Texas House Of Representatives. Paxton Harris grew up in a quite wealthy household due to his great great grandfathers creation of one of the largest grocery store chains on the East Coast of the United States. Paxton's great great grandfather Jedediah Harris created the Harris Teeter grocery chain in the small town of Campbell, George in 1890. Before he knew it the chain took off fast continuing to grow throughout the eastern United States predominately in the southern states of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. As the years went by the chain continued to grow though Paxton's great grandfather retired from the business in 1965 when he was diagnosed with cancer and decided giving his son Michael Harris complete control of the company was his only option. Though in 1998 Michael Harris was tragically killed in a helicopter crash during a thunderstorm over West Palm Beach, Florida and at the time the then twenty one year old Paxton was promoted to the position of Chairman of the Harris Teeter Company. Years and years of success led to major growth in the company until 2008 things took a turn for the worst. After the 2008 recession Harris Teeter was forced to layoff 400 employees and close 3 stores. This forced Paxton to rethink his business decision and after long thorough discussions with the shareholder board he decided that it was in his best interest to sell the business to one of the nations largest grocery chains Whole Foods. Mr. Harris was left with over $600 million in personal wealth from his families grocery chain and he decided in 2010 that he would move to the nation of Atlantis where he could do what he always wanted to do and that was run for political office and now as of 2015 Mr. Harris knew that was the right decision and is ready to bring Freedom and liberty to the citizens of Atlantis through the creation of a free market economy and the establishment of civil liberties as he grew up with while living in the United States Of America.
