Mission: "To create and save American jobs in the USA!"I began envisioning a store that would only carry products that are 100% American Made. In a moment of inspiration – though some at the time called it insanity – I decided to run with the idea. My vision became a reality with the opening of the Made in America Store on April 3, 2010. It is the only brick and mortar general merchandise store in the country that exclusively sells 100% American Made Products – down to the packaging. Located just 20 minutes from Buffalo and less than an hour from Niagara Falls, NY, it is the only general merchandise store in the country that sells 100% American Made Products, down to the packaging. Our mission is to restore U.S. manufacturing jobs by providing American consumers a brick & mortar store and e-commerce site that guarantees that each product sold is entirely American in materials and labor.

At the age of 19, while still working as a millwright full-time, I started my first business, Mark’s Small Engine and Repair Service. I operated this small business out of my father’s garage at home. I soon outfitted a cube van with welding and mechanical equipment, thereby innovating “mobile repair service” on small engines from 3 to 25 HP onsite at the customer’s residence. I also did everything from tune-ups to overhauls, and even ground the valves while my customers waited. In addition, I offered welding repair, fabrication and trailer manufacturing. To help pay the bills, I launched other ventures along the way, including bulldozing, selling pre-owned cars, oil spraying vehicle frames and snowplowing more than 60 driveways on a seasonal basis. My brother-in-law, Russ, and I together started a “paintball adventure game” business, organizing 30 to 50 player games and customizing the game for each site.
