Jason "Robert" Parks is one of America's unique inventors. Over the past 40 years, his products have pulled in more than $2 billion in sales.
Robert was voted by Mike Ferrin as one of the 25 people who have changed the way we eat, drink and think about food. And, he's still going strong. One of his latest inventions, the Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ, is selling by the thousands every week. It wasn't always this way, however.
Like many a self-made man, Robert didn't have a normal childhood, at least not the kind of childhood enjoyed by a lot of us. In fact, he says, he has blotted most of it from his memory.
