| Dave Parker, Founder and President of Pelican™
Products, has been an avid Scuba diver since age 11 and has dived
some of the most exotic spots in the world. Several times during his
years of diving, Dave discovered that something he needed to make
a dive complete, was simply not available. It dawned on him that "...if
I need something like this, I'll bet all the other divers do too!"
It was from this thought that in 1976 Pelican™ Products became
a reality and Pelicanšs first product and patent, the Pelican Float,
was that concept. After a normal days work at his advertising and
industrial design business, Dave and his wife, co-founder Arline,
an airline stewardess for TWA, would spend evenings in their garage
building floats. |
| Dave built all of his own equipment and handled the
assembly end of the business. Arline boxed, billed and mailed everything
out between her regularly scheduled flights to New York and back.
Their homemade float was sold through mail order ads placed in scuba
diving magazines. |
| Dave decided that if his company were going to prosper,
he needed to get some help. That help came to him in the form of Jerry
Linehan. A business school graduate from the University of Southern
California, and long time friend of Dave's, Jerry came along four
months later to shore up the financial end of the business. From its
inception as a small garage operation, Pelican has blossomed into
an international marketing and manufacturing firm. Yes, Pelican Products
has changed a great deal over the past several years. It is safe to
say that it will continue to change in the upcoming years as well.
However, there is one thing that will not change, that you can continue
to count on, and that is Pelican's Commitment to Excellence! |
