Bert Kersey Beagle Bros began with a very humble beginning in the home of Bert Kersey in 1980 who, alongside his wife, ran the company. After graduating in Graphic Arts, Kersey spent four years designing and putting together menus, signs, annual reports, and brochures for a restaurant company before deciding to solo as a free-lance artist. After buying an Apple II he decided to quit working as a free-lance artist and to start a mail-order software business. Before going any further, he needed a name for his business. Why Not Apple? ' 'All the names with soft, data, and micro were already taken," One of the things that popped into his mind was Walt Disney's Beagle Boys from the Scrooge McDuck comics. " I just changed b-o-y-s to b-r-o-s and I had a company.“ The company's founder, Bert Kersey, started a model train company after selling Beagle Bros to Mark Simonsen in 1985.
