Our Story
More than four decades of growth, built around taking care of our customers.
- 1984
Our Beginning
Larry Bull founded MDS of Michigan in 1984. He served on the Georgetown Little League board and spent many years as treasurer of Holy Cross Lutheran Church. In his later years, he enjoyed restoring antique tractors and often drove them across the Mackinac Bridge.
- Over the Years
Growing Our Reach
Larry Bull’s son, Craig Bull, took over MDS of Michigan with the same commitment to helping customers keep their equipment running. Under Craig’s leadership, we expanded our inventory, strengthened our manufacturer partnerships, and began serving more businesses.
