Every time someone asks what I do for a living and I tell them that I am a toy inventor, the response is always the very same: “That must be fun, playing with toys all day,” or “Just like in that movie with Tom Hanks?” (Big is the movie they invariably reference.)

           

Generally, however, I tell people that a year in the toy industry is like seven years in a dog’s life, if you can do the math on that, to help them appreciate just how darn difficult it is to do what we do. Poor me. 

Well, yes, I am here to tell you that it really is fun, exciting, challenging and all-in-all the very best way in the world to spend my days, to make a living, and to make a contribution to society. After 30 years of inventing, developing, and licensing toys, I still love it. Mine is a great industry creating great products that have a great impact on children and therefore on adults and the world.
