About
Sparx

When I was 4 years old, I first learned about entrepreneurship from a neighbor that had an avocado tree. They would let me come over to pick the ripe avocados and then sell the avocados to other neighbors for a split of the profits.

I was a super shy kid, so that experience helped me gain confidence and gave me a taste of entrepreneurship.

Fast forward to 2019 (when I moved to Denver) when I started my first company. Running that company was the experience of a lifetime. I learned so much, worked so hard, and impacted thousands of people’s lives.

My goal with Sparx is to give kids a way to unlock their creativity and confidence while learning about entrepreneurship. In the Sparx box, parents will work with kids and be guided through the process to create and sell a product made by your kid. The box comes with all of the materials needed to create the cards, set up a stand, and start selling.
