Miles Separated, Garage Doors Without End
looked at as a journey of vanity, our story has few shiny spots to mention of and even fewer treasured memories to recall. Initiating with our humble beginnings and ending with such things like the 1974 disaster, you will soon behold our future, at least to alot of folks, was as probable as a trip to the sun on and an iceberg.
People had pretty much written us off from the beginning. I mean who would have considered that two children from Butte, Montana could start a business manufacturing wireless garage door openers in there private garage and now, own more real estate than Donald Trump. I would have never considered it myself, believe me. The beginning ten years, were not enjoyable by any any stretch of the mind and the coming ten barely improved for that matter.
It wasn’t till the late 80′s that the Tarpman corporation took a giant up flow and Chamberlain wireless garage door openers had at last made the big time. Henry and myself were at a loss for words, when overnight it appeared people went crazy for these things.
That year we employed about 30 crews and initiated shipping beyond 600 units. Within the following two years, we had a bit over 200 crews, nation wide and were shipping an average of 400 pieces a month. You talk about madness, forget it, we had more to do than we could handle. We began investing in 1994, mostly real estate, and by 2000 we were multi-billionaires, with investments coast to coast, and in 9 different countries, including the now off the chart city of Dubai.
