Henry graduated from the Lansing School District. He had a natural love for cooking great food for his family and friends.

Hank became an entrepreneur and opened two eateries, Hanks 517 and later Hank Plates.
In 2011, Hank found the Lord and was baptized by Pastor Stan Parker.

He founded Eastside Champion Awards Banquet, Lunch on Us Program and started the Annual Christmas Day for the Community. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, he volunteered at the John Knox Food Pantry.
