Ali Sharaf was born in 1957 near Damascus, Syria. His father was a farmer/merchant and his mother was a homemaker. Ali graduated from Damascus University with a Civil Engineering degree in 1980. He then first founded and ran his own successful engineering/construction company for six years before moving to the United States. Ali Sharaf moved to the United States in 1986 and purchased his first convenience store that same year. Over the next 10 years, with hard work and determination, he expanded his holdings to 11 stores. In 1997, Ali purchased H&H Oil Co., Inc., which was a premier Exxon Fuel Distributorship with annual sales of approximately twenty million gallons. He continued to build and acquire convenience stores for another nine years.
In 2006, he changed the name of H&H Oil Co., Inc. to Victron Energy, Inc., and built new headquarters in Waxahachie, Texas. Victron Energy, Inc. has expanded to distribute fuel for not only ExxonMobil, but also Shell, Chevron, Texaco, Conoco, Valero and other, unbranded fuels. Victron Energy, Inc. now boasts close to three hundred million gallons in annual sales and is still growing with new construction and acquisition of properties.
