July of 2008 marked a new era for the company when owners, Tom "Digs" Verdiglione and Dan Tandy rode in with a fresh outlook and a commitment to the future. Tom and Dan (friends for over 25 years) have always appreciated Harley-Davidson® motorcycles and the lifestyle/culture of the brand. After successful careers on Wall Street, they wanted to do something new and exciting that also embraced the American pride and spirit. Their goal was to find a high quality business which was American owned, American made, and embodied a commitment to excellence. Tom and Dan are old school gentlemen. Their underlying philosophy of business is "Our Word is Our Bond". When they met the O'Toole's, the solution was clear.
