WHO IS THE FOUNDER AND WHAT IS HIS BACKGROUND

 

Daniel Smith has been a reality television programming executive over twenty years.  He supervised shows like American Gladiators and was a development and production executive at ABC Family Channel and Playboy TV.   For fun, he has always been a builder, tinker, and sewer.   The idea for jimmyCASE came as Daniel was frustrated, traveling to TV locations around the country, carrying his bulky wallet in one pocket and his iPhone in another.   He tried a bunch of the wallet-cases available, but found they had technical limitations.   The materials (plastic or leather) didn't stretch to carry the six cards he needed, and the leather ones stretched out with just a little abuse.  

He found an elastics factory in Los Angeles that makes colorful, wide-format elastic bands that are strong and stretchy.   He worked with the owner to customize a fabric that would work with iPhone cases and began designing the jimmyCASE in the Fall of 2013.   His family and friends loved his prototypes, so he gave up his TV career and started making jimmyCASE full time in 2014.

Daniel has a strong business background which he has been applying to grow jimmyCASE operations and stay lean, with a BS from Wharton and MBA from UCLA.
