In honor of Father\u2019s Day this month,\u00a0we asked local male business owners to tell us about their businesses, why they started them, and to share important qualities or skills that have contributed to their success as business owners. We are grateful for their support of Sasee and are so lucky to have them as part of our community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always believed that healthcare should be personal, precise, and powerful\u2014not rushed, reactive, or cookie-cutter. After working in both conventional and alternative medical settings, I saw a massive gap in how chronic pain and long-term health issues were being treated. Most practices either lean too far into pills or too far into pseudoscience. I built Myrtle Beach Spine Center to be the bridge between the two\u2014a place where evidence-based medicine, cutting-edge regenerative therapies, and hands-on chiropractic care come together under one roof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We specialize in physical medicine, rehabilitation, and integrative treatments like stem cell therapy, medical weight loss, trigger point injections, spinal decompression, and advanced diagnostics. Our goal is to get patients functioning at their highest level without surgery or long-term reliance on pharmaceuticals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My inspiration? Helping people get their life back\u2014and proving that modern healthcare can still be personal, proactive, and damn effective.\u00a0I raise ducks. Not metaphorically\u2014actual ducks. They have names, routines, and more personality than some of the people I\u2019ve met at medical conferences. It started as a hobby with the kids, and now it\u2019s a borderline obsession. Bonus fact? I\u2019m 100% Sicilian, which means I\u2019m genetically wired for espresso, stubbornness, and cooking pasta like a Michelin-starred nonna.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not your average clinic. We\u2019re the place you come when you\u2019ve tried everything else, and nothing\u2019s worked. Whether it\u2019s chronic pain, weight you can\u2019t lose, or mobility that\u2019s holding you back, we combine traditional medicine with advanced regenerative therapies and hands-on care to get real results. We also take pride in our culture\u2014our team is warm, sharp, and relentless about getting people better. If you want to feel younger, move better, and stop chasing band-aid treatments, we\u2019re your people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Parrilla\u00a0 – Kind Ideas\/Lowcountry Bites\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kind Ideas started as a creative hobby, with my wife and I making small gifts, signs and trinkets. Then one day, I thought of building a wooden tray. We had an Etsy shop and posted the listing for said tray, and it took off immediately. This was back in 2020. Since we have created thousands of serving trays, charcuterie boards, coasters, retirement gifts and many other personalized home goods and corporate gifts. We work with premium wood and create unique pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an Executive Chef by trade. I went to culinary school in New York City 2001 and after I moved to Martha\u2019s Vineyard, MA where I pursued my career for many years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Kind Ideas Home and Gift grew, we had to improve our marketing and photos, and stage the trays appropriately. We started adding food to the photos, and eating charcuterie on a regular basis. Eventually, that part of the business became Lowcountry Bites – our charcuterie and hors d\u2019oeuvres business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John S. Gore, Owner, Designer, Allied ASID\u00a0– B. Graham Interiors<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I went into business first as an antique dealer to supplement a teacher\u2019s income, then as a watercolor and acrylic artist, then as an interior designer with a showroom for the last 30 years. In my youth, I was one of those people whose feeling was \u201cif they can do it, I can do it\u201d or the sky is the limit. I have always thrived on challenge and making a vision become a reality. My motto is nothing ventured, nothing gained. Age has tended to mellow the adventurous spirit, and I now concentrate on designing interiors for my clients and painting abstracts in acrylics for relaxation. B. Graham Interiors is a full service design firm and though we have scaled down from six employees to two, Rosa Morais and myself, we concentrate on the showroom and designing quality interior spaces utilizing our expertise and library of over 1,000 manufacturers of quality fabrics, wallcoverings, furniture and accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hunter Brandon\u00a0 – Glass Doctor\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After serving in the Army for seven years, I decided to end my career in one field and join another so I would be able to be with my family more. With the foundation of an incredible company, I opened a franchise in Myrtle Beach with Glass Doctor, and there we specialize in glass repair, replacement, and installation for homes and businesses, including insulated glass, tabletops, shelving, mirrors & shower enclosures, storefronts, board-up services, and more. Like every part of my life, I have set numerous goals that I strive to meet, and one of those goals I set when opening this franchise was to give back to the community I grew up in. With my experience in the Army as an Officer, I\u2019m used to the discipline and determination when it comes to leading people. Working within the civilian world rather than the military has given me more learning opportunities to be an even better leader in an entirely different scope of work. By gaining new skills as a leader, I hope to serve my community well and leave a lasting impression on every customer we serve while providing my employees with a work environment they\u2019re proud to be a part of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
