The founder of the company, Bernard Moran, began his business in 1963 in the backyard and garage of his home in Phoenix, Arizona.

He originally operated the business as a partnership with his brothers, but bought them out after a few years.

His sons, Tim and Greg, started working with their father when they were pre-teens.

Bernard had a wonderful mechanical mind and designed some of the production machinery still in use by our company today, including a tree box machine and a stake pointer machine.
