Our Story

In 1987, I set out on a journey that would forever shape my destiny. With a brush in one hand and a vision in the other, I began painting new homes, focusing on the burgeoning developments of track homes. Driven by the twin engines of speed and efficiency, I, alongside my brothers, cultivated our modest enterprise into a thriving business with a team of 12 dedicated employees. As our skills refined, so did the quality of our craftsmanship. Gradually, we mastered the intricate art of woodwork, which opened new doors to remodeling opportunities which be where I would spend the next 30 years of my life.

The pivotal moment came when I joined forces with Murphy Bros., a name synonymous with premier remodeling. There, we established a modest yet productive paint shop. 

Despite our success, we continually faced the challenge of working within constricted spaces. This limitation sparked a flash of inspiration during an ordinary day at paint store. A simple cardboard display caught my eye, igniting the idea that would evolve into — a portable drying rack system designed for tight spaces. Fueled by this vision, I sketched the initial concdur first prototype to life.

For five relentless years, I crafted and recalibrated, creating 12 different iterations of the drying rack. Each version edged closer to perfection, driven by an unyielding pursuit of excellence and functionality.

Then, during a casual conversation with my brother-in-law Steve, an astute attorney with an eye for potential, he witnessed the final design. His immediate reaction was: "We need to patent that!" His words weren't just a suggestion.

Thus began a new chapter in our story, marked by the pursuit of a patent and the dream of sharing our groundbreaking creation with the world. My journey from humble beginnings to today is not just about painting or a cool product; it isabout leaving a lasting impact on the industry I love.
