Small Business Development Center at Central Missouri State University

Eygon toolManaging his own motorcycle customization business and attending UMKC to earn an MBA keeps Ray Alarid quite busy. But when he and business partner Marty Geunther developed an idea that would dramatically affect the trucking industry, Ray's entrepreneurial sprit would not let the opportunity pass him by.

Ray turned to the SBDC at Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg for help in turning their idea into a profitable reality. The center assisted the entrepreneurs in their start-up process: connecting them to the UMKC Entrepreneurial Law Clinic for help Eygon toolin establishing a partnership agreement, and to specialists at CMSU to work through the patent process.

Ray and Marty's tool, which makes the loading and unloading processes for truckers quicker and more efficient, has been well-received in the trucking community. More than 1,000 pieces have already been ordered, and production arrangements have been made with a manufacturer in China.

Manufacturing a tool that has revolutionized the trucking industry is one of several reasons Ray Alarid was named the 2002 Student Entrepreneur of the Year by the Henry W. Bloch School of Business and Public Administration.Eygon tool
