n the late 90s, a woman quit her job to bake & sell funnel cakes at fairs & farmers markets.

She and other vendors needed to be able to regularly wash their hands at these markets, and many would solve this problem by bringing along buckets.

This woman's husband, an engineer, sensed an opportunity. He built her a portable sink, one that allowed her to wash her hands and pass health inspections handling food at these outdoor events.

Other vendors saw this and wanted a portable sink for themselves.

A company was born.

And an American dream was realized; the couple were immigrants from Egypt.

Twenty-six years later, today's guests, also a couple, bought the $2m company to pursue their own dreams with it.

Ray & Dana Chery were working in successful tech careers, but feeling the time was right for a change. They were bound to pursue an entrepreneurial path eventually, and buying a business was the answer.

When the listing for Monsam Portable Sinks hit the market, it was only 20 minutes away, and Ray jumped at the opportunity to meet the seller the very next day.

Both Ray and Dana also come from immigrant families, so there was kinship with the Egyptian owner.

Today Ray and Dana have quit their tech jobs and are working full-time in the business, one that they believe has a ton of room to grow under their family's ownership.

Here are Ray and Dana Chery, owners of Monsam Portable Sinks.
