My Story:
I was a financial advisor for 17 years and it was great. But, I felt as though I had stumbled upon my passion in life with educating people and helping to make a difference in the world. I never fathomed what would come from the animal I was deathly afraid of. I saw an opportunity to create change by educating and building a business on a global level. Snakes are on almost every piece of land on the planet and are also one of the most feared and misunderstood creatures in the wild. I do not have a technology background but was able to find a development company, and also meet some very key people in the herpetology industry. I launched the app in June of 2019 and since that time we've had 100,000 downloads and submissions from every state in the US and over 180 different countries. We currently get over 600 downloads a day, and are growing rapidly. This company has grown organically. We have changed the view of thousands of people by explaining the importance of snakes, while also saving just as many snakes from being killed. We thank all those who have become part of our “family”.
A very special thanks to Jack & Sally Facente and Dick & Patricia Bartlett! Without these four individuals this app would not be where it is today. I was fortunate enough to meet Jack early on and he believed in what I was trying to accomplish. Most importantly, Jack believed in me. He introduced me to Dick and Patricia who live in Gainesville, Fl, ironically where I was born and graduated from college. They welcomed me into their home and listened to my ideas. Not only did they also believe in me, they trusted me with their life’s work which is what is showcased in our list of Snakes of the U.S. on this website. Thank you all again for your belief and support. We still have a lot to do, but I hope I’ve made you proud so far.
Cheers!
