In today’s episode I speak with Pat Marron Jr. of Tune Tech Downtown in Boise ID. Pat starts by telling us about his dad Pat Marron Sr. who started Tune Tech at this location in 1981.
He tells about his mom and dad coming over from Ireland. They came to Boise and his dad started the company. Pat shares that his sisters and brother were a part of the company. His older brother, Sean and his five sisters would come down to the shop on weekends and help clean the shop or do other chores.
Pat said they’re a big family and they like working together and doing things together. He said they have always helped one another out and working in the business was an adventure they enjoyed together.
