looked at as a trip of vanity, our story has few bright spots to speak of and even fewer precious memories to recall. Starting with our humble beginnings and concluding with such things like the 1974 disaster, you will soon see our future, at least to many of folks, was as likely as a trip to the sun on and an iceberg.

People had pretty much written us off from the word go. I mean who would have imagined that two boys from Butte, Montana could start a business fabricating remote garage door openers in there personal 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 exciting by any any stretch of the imagination and the coming ten barely improved for that matter.

It wasn’t till the late 80′s that the Tarpman business took a giant up swing 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 seemed people went berserk for these things.

That year we employed about 30 crews and initiated shipping beyond 600 units. Within the next two years, we had just over 200 crews, nation wide and were shipping an average of 400 units 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.
