History

Established in 1975.

I worked at Sandia laboratory Livermore 8 years and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory 15 years all in Environmental Testing and Strength of Materials at elevated and cryogenic temperatures. In the evenings I traveled to San Jose to study appliance repair for 14 months and decided to quit my job and start my own business. I had 8 children by the time I decided to leave the Lab and venture out into the small business world. The business grew rather quickly since I was raised in Pleasanton and new many people in the valley. The rest is history.
