Max Bozeman II

2022 TOP P&E

Max Bozeman II is a native of Houston’s northside. As the owner of The Greasy Spoon Soulfood Bistro, he is currently living out his entrepreneurial purpose and passion. From starting companies to selling them, being a venture capitalist and investor, Bozeman is consumed (and somewhat addicted) to the world of business and entrepreneurship. A product of Acres Home and Studewood, he graduated from Westfield High School and attended Texas Southern University for about three years before opening his first company. The milestone would eventually cause him to put his academic pursuits on hold, but it wouldn’t stop his dreams from unfolding in the years to come. Since his childhood years, Bozeman has always wanted to be an entrepreneur. From ages four to 13, his desire to be a millionaire would soon blossom to wanting to reach billionaire status, a goal he still plans to obtain. “All I knew was that I wanted to help people and be a blessing to my family and community, so I knew I had to have a lot of money to accomplish my philanthropic goals,” he says. Bozeman’s latest venture is in the restaurant and hospitality industry, where he opened The Greasy Spoon Soulfood Bistro in 2020. Bozeman has since opened a TGS Food truck at Houston’s Grub Park and also a new Greasy Spoon location in Pearland, TX. Having been awarded the Best New Restaurant in 2020 by Black Restaurant Week, The Greasy Spoon has quickly become one of Houston’s premier soulfood destinations. Bozeman’s greatest achievement is being a single father to three amazing children. He has two girls and one boy- Mahari, 8, Marli, 6, and Max Christon, 23 months. The biggest highlight of fatherhood, according to Bozeman, is being able to have an impact on his children as their hero. Bozeman has not only been an impact to his children but to the Houston community as well, being recognized by the Houston Business Journal as one of the Top 40 Under 40, and he is also honored to be one of the Top 50 Black Professionals and Entrepreneurs of Texas by d-mars.com. “I’m blessed to live a life of freedom, to be able to be a part of every moment that matters, and create memories that will last a lifetime,” he says. Success has not come without some struggles, as Max battled cancer in the midst of entrepreneurial achievements. While it was a tough battle, it was one that he ultimately won with God’s healing power. He celebrated his healing in a major way by being a part of the Season 16 premiere episode on the Cooking Channel’s Food Paradise. Bozeman’s greatest inspiration is his uncle, James Dixon II. He is also heavily inspired by his mother, who he’s seen overcome a number of challenges. Something that Bozeman lives by is “Don’t be a dreamer, be a striver. Strivers achieve what dreamers believe.” Follow The Greasy Spoon on Instagram @thegreasyspoonhtx. To keep up with Bozeman, follow him on IG @maxgetsitin.
