C.J. Moe founded this company in 1977 after working for Oster for 30 years. He started and ran the business in his basement  . Robert started working for him in 1982. C.J. sold the business to Robert in 1987 and it was moved to the current location. C.J. worked full time-or as much as he wanted -until 2006 when he, at the age of 87 decided to once again retire.We will all miss him greatly.
