Sally Bany

Dave and Sally are both graduates of West Linn high school. Their first date — to a motorcycle race in Clackamas — was in 1975. Sally graduated in 1976, and Dave in 1977. For two decades, the Banys ran Columbia Sportswear’s retail division — a family business, since the company was founded by Sally’s grandfather. In 2001, however, Dave and Sally decided they were ready for a change, and wanted to buy a business. They settled on Moonstruck Chocolate in Portland, even though they knew little about chocolate at the time.
