    MADISON – Several businesses were honors recently during the Madison Chamber of Commerce’s 2019 Best in Business Awards at Insanity Complex. Held, Oct. 22, the awards dinner and presentations was attended by hundreds of North Alabama business professionals and community leaders as they recognized the area’s top businesses this year.

    The evening began with a cocktail hour followed by a buffet-style dinner from the Madison City Culinary Program students and catered by the Insanity Food and Beverage Department. The man course for the evening was, of course, the awards presentation.

    John Malone, on-air personality for iHeartMedia, served as the emcee for the event.

    The featured speaker of the event was Clayton Hinchman, CEO of Black Patch Distilling Company.

    Black Patch Distilling was founded by Hinchman and his father, Gary Cooper. His wife, Leslie, serves as the company’s president. A decorated U.S Army veteran turned business owner, Hinchman described the transition he faced after being wounded in combat and losing a leg, to owning a technology company, selling it and then realizing his dream with his father in Black Patch Distillery located on Lanier Drive in Madison.

    Hinchman also described the mentality it take to be successful in business and life.

    “I will tell you how I define success,” he told the crowd. “In the past ten years, I do not wake up to an alarm clock. Every day of my life I wake up excited to go to work, to go to the gym and to be with my family — all the challenges we have to face on a daily basis, I enjoy that. I wake up excited every morning.”

    He continued by telling the business professionals at the event if they want to be successful in business and make it they have to focus on taking care of their employees and customer satisfaction. “We you start talking about all the things you are going to buy and all the money you are going to have with all the success you are going to experience, you are going to fail,” he said.

    The following is a list of this year’s winners starting with the overall winners, followed by the finalists in each category:
