Meet Us

In 1990, college roommates, Dan Liechty & Scott Davis, were on the verge of graduating from UC Irvine. With solid degrees within their reach, this is the time that students start to look for their “careers.” Instead they found themselves facing one of the worst job markets in decades. In fact, in late December 1990, they were both let go from “internships” … who fires interns? They are practically free.

Anyway, as 1991 began, Dan & Scott, with some help from family, a little birthday money and a small loan, decided to start a business refurbishing bath tubs and CALbath was born. It was a way to pay the rent and finish college.

Let’s face it, at 22 you don’t know very much… your goals are simple and your motives are fairly pure. All they wanted was to get a few customers, make them happy and get through until graduation. Then the “real jobs” would pour in.

They began to solicit door-to-door to apartments in the area and eventually got a few clients. A few clients turned into a few more clients and then even more.  Successful may have been a stretch… but CALbath was growing rapidly. Still in school and taking business courses, one might assume it was a superior product or superior skill. These two college students were perplexed.  They weren’t the only ones in the business… and they knew they weren’t the best.
