As a parent and grandparent, I know the importance of setting children up for success when they are young can have a lifelong positive impact. With the amount of screen time kids get, it’s easy for them to become disconnected.

Truth is, reading and discussing age appropriate bedtime stories for just five minutes a night can you reconnect and strengthen the parent child bond.

A Former Wall Street Broker, I am a serial entrepreneur with a cheesecake recipe which once garnered marriage proposals (my beautiful wife Kelly didn’t think I should take any of them). 

My greatest joy is reading my animated animal stories to elementary children and sharing A to Zoo with them. Best part is watching them become invested inthe character and after hearing the stories they instinctively make the right choice.
