Entrepreneur, designer of play-based toys, product developer, inventor, and play advocate. Founding and directing a mission based company which impacts thousands of children every year has been life changing. At Kodo we have found a unique approach to teaching children with engaging hands-on materials that encourage inventive experimentation, problem solving, and learning naturally through play. My now many years of experiencing the facets of early childhood education has changed my outlook on human development, the impact of open-ended toy design, and the importance of play for the future of this country. Kodo proudly leads the effort to bring innovation to education and uphold the competence of children. These many years in this intense, rapid growth start-up has brought to light the impact individuals can have in the world. From having the founder experience of starting a company in a garage, sweating bullets manufacturing to fill backordered product, to now running an established company, each and every person is key in fulfilling our mission. The experiences and knowledge I have gained in the foundation of a business, and the intricacies and challenges of manufacturing, have provided insight and appreciation of those who have been successful at such endeavors. Through skill, luck, and the continued support of our loyal customers Kodo continues to grow providing impact for children around the world.
