As a dad of two little girls (9 and 10 years old), a disabled Veteran, a 28-year Firefighter/EMT, Public Safety Educator and a Fire Service and an EMT Instructor I intend to build an indoor interactive learning safety village and play center in Nashua, NH where children and their families will learn through experiences. My mission is to provide: • Hands-on life-saving skills through experiences, • Combat childhood obesity through unstructured free play (UFP), • Disabled children an equal opportunity to experience UFP with their peers on all inclusive climbing structures. It is said that I am a pragmatic disabled Veteran and visionary with strong leadership skills. While attending an entrepreneur program at Northeastern University (Boston, MA) and the Entrepreneur Boot camp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) at Syracuse University I have encountered high-level mentors who have been very instrumental in building Lil’ Jake’s. In fact, in the beginning I started with needing 21,000 sqft of space and a budget of $1.2 million; we scaled to 9,000 sqft of space and a budget of $400,000.00. As an entrepreneur I own 3rd Degree Safety Solutions LLC (3rd Degree). I intend to leverage 3rd Degree to create Lil’ Jake’s Indoor Safety Village & Playground LLC.
