Holtz Leather

"We started Holtz Leather Co. after suffering some of the lowest points in our life. In short over the course of 5 years we suffered 4 miscarriages, lost our business, lost our home, and nearly became homeless. Through this time of extreme humbling God taught us that life is more than the things we acquire or the titles we have. About Rick & Coleen (boy meet girl) Our story really does kind of have a boy meets girl beginning. Coleen and I met when we were small kids, but with my dad being in the Marines we moved away and didn’t return until I was 13. I can remember that day like it was yesterday. Our first Sunday back in Huntsville, I saw the most beautiful girl walk across the front of the church and I knew in that moment I would marry her! Five short years later we were married and with $1,000 in our pocket, a borrowed car, and a heart full a dreams we began our adventure together. Since that time we’ve added 11 children to our family, reached heights I never thought possible and experienced lows that left us nearly hopeless. Through it all I have seen God establish us as a family that desires more of Him and less of this world. We are a family that remains passionate about hard work, family, and the oppressed (especially children)."
