Growing up in Rural Indiana on a melon farm in the 1930s, Tom KellerÕs humble beginnings taught him the value of family, hard work and building a legacy. As the first one in his family to attend college, Tom went on to make a name for himself as a leading salesman selling farm equipment throughout the Midwest.
Tom overcame a lifetime of hardships and heartbreaks, but it didnÕt stop him from building a trucking company in the late 1970s that would someday become one of the biggest employers in Defiance, Ohio. Through perseverance, taking risks and never giving up, Tom built a business that will carry on for generations to come.
