Cameron has a wealth of experience in corporate strategic marketing and business strategy. He spent over 20 years working in national and international businesses. His MBA from Colorado State and his serious DIY skills allow him to not only be the Business Manager but also our painter, our engineer, our IT guy and Web developer, plumber, and builder of all Kristi’s ideas.
Prior to the inception of Kids Wonder, Kristi was a master teacher and administrator who dedicated 23 years to young people and adults. She was a consultant for the Department of Education and an Outreach Manager for a nonprofit encouraging social and emotional learning in schools.
