#42 Keeping Military Personnel in Touch with Their Families - Sam Meek , Sandboxx
Growing up on the slopes of Sun Valley, Idaho, Sam Meek was in high school when 9/11 hit. He always thought he would be a Marine, and decided that was the time. The fact that he loved his fellow Marines was part of the motivation for starting Sandboxx, to help them stay connected with their families. This means communication at tough times such as boot camp and also at special times in their service, such as graduation, medal ceremonies and the like. He was always entrepreneurial, even starting a Hacky-Sack company at age 13. But a chance encounter with a hedge fund principal launched him into the business world.
