How It Started

In 1976, three ambitious engineers—James Truchard (Dr. T), Jeff Kodosky, and Bill Nowlin—were inspired to start a business where people could land their dream job, flourish in a city they love, and make a difference. And so they did—right out of Dr. T’s garage. It started with an idea as bold as it was simple—connect a test instrument to a computer—and the way technology was tested and measured would change forever.
