About this speaker
Occupation: This Saves Lives Co-Founder, Dad, Sometimes on TV How I Got Involved: Todd and I took a humanitarian trip to Liberia where we met kids who were suffering from severe malnutrition. It was heartbreaking… but also inspiring because we saw the incredibly simple, life-saving nutrition that was returning them to health. We decided right there to get more nutrition to kids in need, so back home we met up with our friends Ravi and Kristen to figure out how. We made a LOT of snack bars in our kitchens and then partnered up with the best non-profit orgs around. Before long, This Saves Lives was born!
Why Fighting Malnutrition Is So Important To Me: I have a kid of my own; an adventurous little dude that doesn’t have to worry about where his next healthy meal is going to come from. I’m so grateful that’s the case, but it isn’t so for millions of kids on this planet we all call home. Insane, right?! ALL children deserve to grow up healthy, strong, and able to change the world around them. We can help make that happen!
Best Part Of Working At This Saves Lives: An endless supply of the best damn bars in the world! Oh, and saving lives. That’s pretty rad too.
Favorite This Saves Lives Memory: The wacky, sleep-deprived, granola-fueled early days of the company in Ravi’s condo. Creating something from scratch... and then seeing the impact we were having on real kids. What a feeling!
Favorite Flavor: Whatever our newest one is :)
