Trusted Vendors came to by through the efforts of John Lehmberg, the owner of Make It Loud, Inc. (Trusted Vendors' parent company), and Missy Shepherd, the owner of Framing Artistry.  John cold called on Missy one day, and they began to form a friendship through doing business together.  One day they were talking about how each of them knew so many OUTSTANDING people in business, people who don't just provide good products and services, but OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD products and services. 

From there, John took the ball and ran with it, created the Trusted Vendors website, and he and Missy pooled theirresources to launch the first gathering in June of 2007 for Trusted Vendors.  The rest is history.
