Founders
A successful business is founded on more than ambition, dedication, and principles. To succeed in any endeavor one must be educated in the tools of their trade. CM Squared, Inc. was founded to pursue both the interest and talents of its principals. Christian D. Malesic, CGR and Craig G. Malesic, LC both acquired an interest in things electrical at a very early age. Their initial knowledge was gleaned from their father, W. Robert Malesic, who was a journeyman electrician for 36 years and who continues to be their confidant. They entered electrical and electronic projects in Science Fair competitions in both elementary and high school, often placing top in the state for their efforts.
Although their paths diverged as young men, due primarily to their college years and Christian's six years in the Air Force, they remained in close touch. The brothers had talked in a dreamlike fashion since childhood about forming a company that would meld their artistic creativity with their technical savvy. By 1995 the dream began to take the shape of a formal business plan wherein Christian could use his managerial and business ability coupled with Craig's creativity and lighting expertise to benefit a niche heretofore unfulfilled.
CM Squared, Inc. was established in January of 1998 and incorporated in the State of Pennsylvania in May of 1998. The company name represents the first and last initials of the two brothers followed by the mathematical term which literally means "to multiply by itself."
