THE SELF MADE MAN

Bobbie Carlyle's sculpture of the Self-Made Man depicts a man chiseling himself out of stone. In much the same way, each of us is empowered with the ability to transform ourselves, build our character, and carve out our own future. This has been the business model for Nathan S. Collier, founder and chairman of The Collier Companies, who built the company from the ground up. It is when we desire to grow personally and persevere in times of struggle that we can reach our personal best. The Collier Companies recognizes this and places emphasis in the power of passion, persistence, and personal initiative.
