This week saw a personal milestone.
20 years since my “fastener arrangement for footwear and clothing” (aka Greeper Laces) patent was officially granted.
Still my little side hustle, Greepers has been an amazing part of my life.
I’ve travel round the world including parts of Europe, China, South Korea, Japan and the USA.
I had distributors in Europe, Japan, Australia and USA.
I’ve met numerous world champion triathletes and was in Hawaii to see the winner of the The IRONMAN Group world championships (Jan Frodeno ) win, crossing the finish line with Greepers in his running shoes.
I’ve had numerous letters from parents of kids who told me the “life changing” impact Greepers had, because their kid could go to school and change shoes for PE without assistance.
Then Covid struck and almost skilled the business. 😩

No regrets and a 1000 lessons learned.
Life has now taken me in a new direction, and it’s awesome.
At 61, I sense my best years are ahead of me.
Can’t wait.
Bring it on!
