In 2011 (the year boomers began turning 65), I joined the aging services industry to empower seniors and family caregivers. In that position I had an opportunity to work with nearly every type of professional, organization, association, franchise and non-profit serving the senior community. I also had an opportunity to speak with hundreds of seniors and adult children over the years, and realized a top concern for many was in fact fall related injuries. My research found senior fall statistics staggering, and the impact on older adults, their families and the healthcare system devastating.
In the summer of 2015, I consciously decided to make “helping older adults live safely and stay independent in their own homes”, my work and my mission, and launched Age Safe® America. Over the years we effectively built brand equity while raising awareness for a comprehensive home safety assessment. In doing this, Age Safe America, LLC developed a unique market segment and certification all its own. Leveraging my knowledge of intellectual property we have acquired multiple USPTO registered trademarks and a massive portfolio of relevant domains in several countries. In 2020 we negotiated a licensing agreement with a healthcare organization in Toronto to propel the Age Safe® mission and vision throughout Canada, and are now targeting further international expansion. I am always open to discussing mutually beneficial partnerships.
At the end of the day I am an admitted beach bum, avid hiker, recovering workaholic, loving husband and father.
