FBR INSIDER INSIGHTS
GIVING BACK
David Miller
SPHERION, FORT MYERS, LAKELAND, LEESBURG, NAPLES, OCALA,
AND SARASOTA, FLORIDA
David Miller has achieved undeniable success as a multi-unit franchisee. But his
passion and work ethic are not limited to his professional endeavors. “Business
ownership gives you a platform to give back, and you can do it in various ways.
You can give back to your employees, job candidates, clients, and organizations
within the community.”
In 2022 Hurricane Ian devastated Southeastern Florida. Becoming an integral part of
the relief effort, David donated $25,000 out of his pocket, organized a community food
drive, and packed 500 bagged lunches for hurricane relief workers. During the pandemic,
he organized a back-to-school supply drive that gave away nearly 200 backpacks to
elementary schoolchildren, and he’s an annual participant in Spherion’s own Community
Giveback campaign, contributing over $7,000.

Rachel Sherman
TSS PHOTOGRAPHY, FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA
Rachel Sherman is not only the top-performing female business owner but also the
top-performing franchisee in the entire TSS network, with sales more than double that of
the next closest competitor. Having already accomplished her lifelong dream of owning
a photography business, she’s now set her sights on empowering the next generation of
entrepreneurial females.
“The biggest thing in business ownership is that you need a support network, whether
it’s your family, friends, or the franchise. With TSS Photography, you have comprehensive
training and ongoing support from the brand—with as much or as little help as you
want—plus the close-knit network of other franchisees in the system. There is always an
opportunity to grow. We do school pictures, youth sports, professional headshots, and
special events. I love it all!”

WOMEN
MILLENNIAL
Drew Nicholoff
ZIEBART INTERNATIONAL, LANSING, MI
Drew Nicholoff spent 10 years working as an accessory installer for Ziebart before
purchasing his location in 2020, during the pandemic. He kept the doors open and the
business thriving, and the shop has set sales records—weekly, monthly, quarterly, and
annually. Drew and his wife, Meredith, are also members of the brand’s operations and
marketing committees. “It’s exciting to see the innovation and corporate development at
Ziebart as they find new and exciting products to introduce to the public and new ways
of interacting with the customers. Whatever the future holds, we’re here for it.”
“It might surprise some people about Millennial business owners—the people who
don’t understand our work ethic—that we’re not afraid to take chances at such a young
age and work our butts off to succeed! I’m still on the clock many nights and weekends,
working on jobs to get them done for our customers.”
