Shurman’s Life Moto is God*Family*Country.  A former shoe-shine and paper-boy Shurman says “I believe everyone has a Dream and a right to pursue their Dream but not the right to achieve their Dream. I believe that right only comes from the work they put in to achieve their Dream. If they are ready to work, I’m their Coach.”
