Most family businesses don’t sell satellites to NASA — but it’s not hard to understand why Mossi Tull would choose to enter the trade. Tull has been around the engineering and contracting worlds forever, and he’s helped grow his parents’ firm while expanding his civic footprint across the Washington, D.C. area. Jackson and Tull’s work can be seen in everything from the Hubble telescope to high altitude balloon technology.
