He would spend 15 years in prison for various crimes such as drugs and burglary. It was in the mid-2000s that he would return to the family bakery and create an organic, crusty bread with whole grains and seeds that would be become hit — first at local farmers markets, and then eventually sold at grocery stores nationwide.
