About the Book

What you build can be taken, but who you become cannot be stolen.

Built by Blood, Stolen by Greed is a powerful memoir that traces the rise and fall of a self-made entrepreneur navigating the high-stakes world of business, loyalty, and survival. At its center is Albert’s journey from a driven salesman to a successful business owner in the janitorial supply industry, where ambition and opportunity open the door to rapid growth. But as the business expands, so do the complications—family involvement, shifting trust, and internal conflict begin to reshape everything he built.

What follows is a deeply personal account of success shadowed by betrayal, financial collapse, legal challenges, and the emotional toll of starting over. The story moves through moments of achievement and devastation, revealing the fragile balance between trust and control in both business and family life.

More than a business story, it is a reflection on resilience, accountability, and reinvention when everything is lost.
