So in 1986 he started a company whose name is now almost synonymous with hunting – Mossy Oak.
The West Point company started with two patterns – Bottomland and Hill Country – and has expanded that to more than 25 camouflage patterns.
Along with that, the two-man startup has grown to about 140 employees, most of whom are in West Point.
Mossy Oak is a mid-sized company, as defined in a new study by American Express and Dun and Bradstreet.
Mississippi ranks 22nd in the past five years in growth of mid-sized companies in the nation, according to the study.
