Terry, “the Warrior” Reece was born in Texarkana, Arkansas and raised in Texarkana, Texas. He attended Liberty-Eylau High School and played and starred in basketball, although he earlier played football and performed in track & field.
Mr. Reece moved to Dallas Texas in 1979 and worked his way upwards with a well-known automotive service & tire company and worked at the South Oak Cliff location for about 14 years, where he built up a positive reputation of a “Tech Specialist”/”Master Technician”/”Working Service Manager”/”Licensed Texas State Vehicle Inspector”. Forcibly retired and discriminated against in pay and company recognition listings and threatened with a “Dime-in-a-Desk” by arrogant/upper management of that automotive company, Mr. Reece had to utilize his $50,000 worth of mechanic’s tools and his 1976 Chevy pick-up truck and began working as a mobile mechanic, then built that to open his 1st Downtown Dallas shop called “Jet Automotive” and very soon, all of his longtime customers left that former major automotive company’s locations and followed Mr. Reece to his new location on Gould Street, in Dallas, near Downtown. (That former major automotive place had to close its doors about 10 months later because it lost so much business and money). Eventually Mr. Reece owned 4 automotive locations around the Dallas, Texas area, including a former partnership on Duncanville Rd. with former LA RAIDERS Hall of Fame/All Pro receiver Tim Brown. Mr. Reece, quickly became one of the up-&-coming Dallas/Ft. Worth area’s Who’s-Who and became active politically and in business and community. Mr. Reece served on the P & Z Board of Adjustment for the City of Lancaster, Texas and the City of Cedar Hill, Texas and helped walk the streets of South Lancaster Rd. in Dallas to help with informing businesses of the “Coming of DART”, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority and D.A.R.T. Railway Systems, which you see today in Dallas. (This was done for his State Senator, Royce West’s Open Meetings for the Communities, along the Proposed Routes of DART). Mr. Reece became certified as a M.B.E. and received some contracts with The General Services Commissions Certifications for the Dallas County Schools, and others, and when Mr. Reece opened a courier/delivery company in 1996/1997, he delivered to the DFW International Airport Board, The City of Dallas, Texas, companies like Frito Lay, Coke-Cola, too many judges and attorneys and other corporations to name all around the DFW metro Area. In 1993-1994/1995, Mr. Reece was “THE” sub-contracted company that helped Automotive Technology Services, Inc. receive the “only Texas Department of Commerce Smart Jobs Grant” ever obtained by a minority company and Mr. Reece acted as Acting Director of Education, where he wrote the curricula, recruited the students (women & men), wrote the Student Handbook, and sometimes taught and trained the students in “Front-end Suspensions & Alignments”, “Engine Performance & Emissions”, “Engine Repairs”, “Automotive AC & Heating”, and “Automotive Electrical”, all of which Mr. Reece held ASE National Automotive Certifications. He even briefly taught the same subjects for ATI (Automotive Trades Institute) in Dallas.
In 2001, after dating his current wife (Julia) for over 2 1/2 years long-distance, Mr. Reece and Julia married and he relocated to Detroit, Michigan, where he lived pretty much incognito and worked small jobs and then completely revamped his companies into what you find today as: ®Reece Enterprises/©Reecenetrics™/®Family Media Company™/©TDM Comics International.

He graduated with an “Official State of Texas Gold-sealed Diploma of Completion” along with that 1996-1997 graduating class. Mr. Reece help found and served on two Not-for-Profit organizations in Dallas – the Friends of Red Bird Airport and Positively Oak Cliff. Mr. Reece has numerous Copyrights & potential inventions and also served on the Texas R & B Music Association Board, during a period in 1996-2001.
Although still having received many more awards, honors, and certificates of recognition nationally and globally, Mr. Reece has remained humble & thankful that a little skinny, bullied kid from Texarkana could be blessed to have done things never imagined by him or those who grew up with him, with still current things being done for the Betterment of Humanity.
