Louisiana entrepreneur Jarvis Green to showcase business on Capitol Hill

Louisiana Small Business Development Center client Jarvis Green has been selected to participate in the America’s Small Business Development Centers’ 2020 Client Showcase & Reception at the Rayburn Building on Tuesday, February 11 at Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

Donaldsonville’s Jarvis Green left home to chase quarterbacks as a football defensive lineman, and he did just that collegiately at LSU and professionally for the New England Patriots, where he became a two-time Super Bowl champion. But what he didn’t know when he left home is that he’d end up sacking shrimp as a wholesale distributor.

Green, the owner of Oceans 97, a wholesale shrimp distribution company, worked with the Louisiana Small Business Development Center at Southern University & A&M College in Baton Rouge (LSBDC-SUBR).
