Boss Engineering was started in 1969 by Oscar, Gary, Wayne, and Bryan Boss by each of them pooling in money and purchasing their first location which is now the site of Elder-Beerman and Dunham's Sporting Goods. 
Oscar was Vice President of McAlpine Engineering Company. Wayne was going to college in Detroit full time, Bryan was working for an electrical contractor and attending college. Gary just resigned his position at the Corp of Engineers and started looking for a place to start a business. Gary had a friend who obtained a report commissioned by Detroit Edison that stated Livingston County was the center of all long term projected growth. |
