== Founder ==
Homer Powell, owner, completed college as a history major at Northwest Nazarene College in Nampa, Idaho. He then went on to get his master's degree at the University of Washington with the financial opportunity of the GI bill, which allowed veterans to attend college.
Financially, times were particularly hard for Homer Powell. He held a steady job in Seattle working at the local YMCA. His pastor at the Nazarene church he attended gave him a tip on how he could earn an extra fifty dollars. Homer Powell was “all ears” and listened to his pastor’s proposition. The pastor suggested he buy army surplus, specifically refrigeration machines, and then sell them for a higher profit. Homer Powell never found the machines, but in trying to locate them, he found out aboutthe benefits a veteran could have through buying army surplus. So, Homer Powell decided to buy and sell army surplus.
