Consumer MedTech InnovatorI have been starting companies since the age of 15, when I founded my first business, The Window Viper, in suburban Detroit (to this day...they still talk about my squeaky clean windows). I have been involved with many successful medical and consumer product innovations and exits with Fortune 100 companies (founder, ceo, director, inventor, investor). A few examples of past successful products & exits include: The Original Spin Pop®, The Original Goody Bag®, Stretch Armstrong®, Spinbrush®, Dawn Power Dish Brush®, Dove Vitalizer® Axe Bullet® , TapKing® and Neutrogena's® Light Therapy Acne Mask, and Neutrogena's® Light Therapy Acne Spot Treatment. See the below detailed individual business examples for additional information where I’ve been Founder/CEO My diverse team includes highly passionate and skilled designers, engineers, quality and compliance experts, patent & M&A lawyers, KOL, and strategic investors, among many other talented individuals. We are successful founders and operators of numerous start up (product-centric) businesses. This distinct entrepreneurial perspective is our competitive advantage, which we leverage in all aspects of product design, development, and strategy. (See Zuko Inc. below).I am the recipient of over 175 commercialized patents (and counting) and speak regularly on internal innovation hurdles and intellectual property to senior leadership at these companies. I also lecture and mentor students on innovation at Wharton, U Penn, MIT, and other schools on occasion.

CeoSkunk Llc Jan 2009 - Dec 2014Open Innovation business development firm focused on creating new entrepreneurial ventures, internally and externally, with leading CPG companies (skunking). We work closely with senior leadership teams, serving as an in-house “entrepreneur in residence,” to identify and help commercialize and de-risk new technologies and products. Past/Current clients include P&G, Unilever, J&J, Newell Rubbermaid, among others. As a result of these endeavors, we gained a very unique insight into the "trials and tribulations" of innovating inside a large organization—and how to successfully overcome these hurdles. Skunk's resources have now been entirely rolled into Zuko LLC (see above).

CeoTapper Candies Jan 1998 - 2001I trademarked and owned the name "Goody Bag", selling ten's of millions of Goody Bags. We also made interactive candy toys, such as the Candy Camera, Jelly Belly Juggler, and the Hershey Kiss Juggler (Hershey's' first ever interactive candy). We invented the "interactive candy/party favor" market ushering in an entire new era in licensed party goods. (Sold to Hallmark Cards). -
PresidentCap Candy, Division Of Cap Toys 1996 - 1998At 23, I coined the term "Interactive Candy Toy" in a WSJ interview and helped create the SpinPop, the "Worlds First Interactive Candy Toy". Buyers weren't sure what it was...Candy buyers wouldn't buy it...and toy buyers wouldn't buy it. It was only when I branded it as "interactive candy toy" (candy first) that we achieved wide mass, drug, and c-store distribution. The Spin Pop became global phenomenon (From Japan to Europe) and ushered in a new era in the candy industry that still exists today. At Cap Toys we also reintroduced Stretch Armstrong, among many other successful toys, to a new generation of fans. (Sold to Hasbro)
