1980s
Since Shari can remember, her father, Ron, has always been inventing something. When Shari was 6 years old, her father started woodworking as a hobby and her mom, Phyllis, would paint his pieces. They sold his woodcrafts from a kiosk in the mall.
Hunt's Woodcrafts was a huge hit, and its success inspired Ron to create and invent more and more.

1990s
In the late 1990s, after decades of working at IBM in Austin, Ron was offered an early retirement and he took it. He started Discgear, a line of CD storage systems, with his best friend. Shari started working with them in 1999 under the CD3, Inc. company name.
