Gene Bruno and Tom Andrews are the founders and principle owners of ALKO. Gene and Tom’s healthcare careers began in 1957 and 1958 respectively. They earned their sales and management skills while working for major national medical supply firms. In 1987 they opened ALKO as a Small Business Administration, SDB 8(a) certified firm and, as a result of Gene’s American Indian heritage, ALKO became the first American Indian owned and operated healthcare supply company in the United States.
