Three Samford graduates, Ted Ailing, Allan Davis, and Barry Large, with the ink on their diplomas barely dry, began a company in 2002 called Access America Transport.  With revenues now in excess of $350 million, their business was named by Forbes last week in the top ten of the“Nifty 50” of America’s most promising companies.

The world is better because Samford graduates are determined to apply the lessons they have learned.
