As some people know TAB GEAR is something that I started over six years ago. I spent four years camping out in the dining room of my house in a 9x10 foot space designing and making our products.
About two years ago, when my son moved out of the house, we moved TAB GEAR into the extra bed room and expanded to about an 11x11 room. I spend most of my time here now.
In the last six years I've also worked one and sometimes two other full time jobs to pay my house hold bills, and have put in an estimated minimum 100 hours a week these last six years.
As our product line has grown and demand has risen for our products I've hired outside contract sewers around the U.S.A. to make some of our products. We still use only American labor. I've also hired my son and daughter to work for TAB GEAR.
Recently, we got to the point where I was needing more and more time to devote to TAB GEAR as far as regular production and product development and the regular day to day communications that a business just has to do to keep the doors open.
So...my wife and I sat down and ran the numbers, at the end of that business meeting we decided that it was time to take a chance and jump off the cliff into the self employeed business world full time with TAB GEAR.
That's what we've done. I quit my day job, my wife quit her day job to sew and handle the paper work, and my son and daughter also are full time TAB GEAR sewers now.
It's taken a long time and hard work to get here and I've sacrificed and missed out on a lot with the family the last six years but it's all been worth it since we're all working together now and loving life.
It's been through the continued encouragement of my family and friends and support from our many customers that we are where we are today. I've met so many people and made so many friends around the world due to TAB GEAR, it would take pages to list them all, so I'll just say THANK YOU!! to everyone that has made us what we are today and a special THANKS!! to Jacob and Lisa Bynum of Rifles Only!
Moving ahead we have many plans for TAB GEAR and look forward to increasing our product line in the near future so stay tuned to the website and our Facebook page too.
