Bill Strang founded Tactical & Survival Specialties, Inc. in 1980 with the simple principle of putting the right equipment in the hands of the warfighters as effectively and as quickly as possible. Over ten years ago TSSI expanded its customer focus to include logistical support for military, law enforcement, and disaster relief professionals in the U.S. and in over 25 allied nations. In 2001, he opened a 41,000-square-foot facility on Early Road, which is used by both TSSI and SPSA.

Bill will be sharing inspirations from his journey from starting a business out of his garage, as he describes, "a hobby that got out of control," up until the present.
