From one startup to the next: Michael Scarbrough keeps building

August 17, 2026 - 23:41

Michael Scarbrough was just 18 when he first caught the startup bug, and he has not slowed down since. Over the years, the serial entrepreneur has launched, acquired, and sold a wide range of businesses across south Louisiana. His ventures have included a restaurant in Maurepas, a golf ball refurbishing company, and Green Heart Meals, a meal delivery service. Each one taught him something new about the ups and downs of running a company.

Now, Scarbrough is putting his energy into his latest project: United Supply Agency, a supplier of personal protective equipment. The company focuses on providing safety gear to businesses and organizations that need reliable access to gloves, masks, and other protective items. It is a space that has grown in importance, and Scarbrough sees real opportunity in building a dependable source for these products.

He admits that not every business he has started was a home run, but he treats each failure as a lesson. His approach is simple: keep moving, keep learning, and do not get too attached to one idea. That mindset has carried him from one industry to the next, and it is what drives him now. With United Supply Agency, he is applying years of hard-won experience to a new challenge, and he shows no signs of stopping. For Scarbrough, building something from the ground up is not just a career. It is what he does.
