King David is a proud United States Army veteran who served at military bases in Germany, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Since receiving an Honorable Discharge from the Army, he has held management positions in the Oil &Gas, Restaurant, Sports, and Transportation industries. He has lived in eight cities that span five states; Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Texas. However, he prefers the simpler life. King David wakes up in his home, surrounded by towering East Texas pine trees and sits in his favorite chair on his back porch to drink a cup of hazelnut coffee. He loves the peace and tranquility of observing the waves lapping in the crystal clear water of the lake behind his house. He listens to and watches the blue jays and cardinals, observes the rabbits and squirrels frolic in his backyard while thanking God for another glorious morning. When he is not working long hours in the Oil & Gas industry, King David spends time grilling choice meats for friends on a pit built with his brother, Abner Haynes Jr. checking on and feeding the catfish and crappies in his lake, or relaxing beneath the tall trees with his two dogs, Buster and Tyson. Mr. Haynes has extensive experience in the restaurant business. His maternal grandfather, Dewey Fitzpatrick Jr. was a Bar-B-Que titan and pioneer who owned one of the first restaurants in Texas that allowed Blacks and Whites to dine together. Mr. Fitzpatrick's restaurant and catering business was recognized by National Geographic Magazine in the April 1980 and was known for having what many considered the finest Bar-B-Que in the United States. Mr. Fitz as he was affectionately known by many was a stickler about quality and passed this on to King David who began learning the restaurant business from his Grandfather at a young age. King David also from a young age assisted his father Abner Haynes Sr. who after his successful professional football career was one of the industry's first Black sports agents. The elder Mr. Haynes at one time represented over 80 NFL football players including the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers " Steel Curtain". King David initially was his father's favorite driver. who learned trough trial and error to recruit athletes as he became older becoming the firm's National Recruiter. He has successfully recruited NFL and NBA ready athletes from Universities across the country including Alabama, UCLA, Notre Dame, LSU, Florida State, Syracuse and many others. He personally recruited and signed players such as UTEP’s Tony Tolbert , Ken Tippins, Alabama's Greg Gilbert and many others. King David is very proud of the legacy of his father Abner Haynes. His dedication to his Dad led him to write the book that gives background and tells the amazing story of the things his father went through and overcame, which in turn paved the way for so many others to be accepted and educated at universities in our country. King David's efforts have insured that younger readers who missed Abner's playing days can enjoy the journey that changed the country so much for the better.
