Bob initially invented the products while he was helping his wife in the garden. He worked on the basic model of a wheelbarrow to make his own product.
The family originally owns a construction company and when Bob pitched this idea to his children, they motivated him to turn it into a business, which he did. Bob took some help from the outside to create the present model of his product. The added story to this family and their business is how Bob lost his daughter Becca.
