Owner/Founder David Schaefer

That's me by one of the original Piggy Packs.

Native of Carmel, Indiana

Graduated from Indiana University

Moved to California in 1984 and became a "computer sales jockey."  VP of Sales, Wolf Computer in Los Gatos.    Boy did we sell a ton of computers and LaserJet printers. (Thanks to Don, Steve, Kevin, Brad, Chris, Anita, and others)

Went to culinary school to became a baker and started my own bakery from scratch.  Can you say "wake up every day at 3 a.m."?  I couldn't. (Thanks Dieter)

Started Piggy Pack (Lakeland Enterprises) in 1996 in a little one room apartment in the back of a house in downtown San Jose, California.  A lot more luxurious than the garage Hewlett Packard started in.  

Since Lakeland's inception I have grown the business by; forming a corporation, arranging SBA financing, building and marketing a profitable web presence, gaining patents for  CTC designs, establishing both retail and wholesale business, enhancing the product line, and most recently set up manufacturing both domestically and overseas.

Now  I sell CTC's  & other vacation and storage gear.  I hope that by providing quality products, fast delivery & primo service Lakeland Enterprises can continue to grow.
