Goodman, a Houston, Texas native is a multi-millionaire industrialist and polo magnate who amassed a fortune in the family appliance and air conditioning businesses and became more widely known in the United States for his legal difficulties stemming from a manslaughter conviction in 2012.John Bailey Goodman was one of five children, born into a privileged Texas family, 18 September 1963. His father, Harold Goodman amassed a fortune in air conditioning manufacturing and also raised race horses. Young John Goodman, according to The Houston Post, was an aimless youth, involved primarily in sport while in school. First football; while attending boarding school, he played lacrosse."He can't remember ever having a goal as a child. Goodman always knew there was room for him in his father's business. From his Massachusetts boarding school, he went to his Delaware college. After graduating from Wesley, Goodman came back home to Texas with a brand-new marketing degree and an abiding love for lacrosse," wrote the Post's Randall Patterson in 1998.Upon returning home, Goodman worked for the family firm in a variety of different positions, starting as its president of international sales. He ultimately served as president and chairman of Goodman Global Holding, Inc. The company grew to become the largest privately held air conditioning and heating equipment manufacturer in the United States.The manufacturing firm, a little-known but well positioned company, had been started in 1975 and run by Harold V. Goodman since its inception with precise acumen. It was launched by the elder Goodman based on his decades of experience as an air conditioning contractor and concentrated on making flexible ducts. For example, Goodman purchased Amana from Raytheon in 1997, then sold its microwave and appliance divisions to Maytag in 2001 for a reported $325 million. The son was given control of the company before his father's death in 1995.John Goodman sold the company in 2004 for approximately $1.43 billion. At the time, it was the second largest air conditioning manufacturer in the United States.He owns or has interests in several concerns, including in the Wanderers Club Wellington, a golf club.".
