Founded KZ as Kameleonz in June 2013 as a unique interchangeable sunglasses line that quickly took off online. 262% year-over-year growth. Floatable sunglasses became KZ's flagship product. KZ was acquired by a Cleveland PE group in May 2017.
Founded Adventure Hunt in 2015 as a marketing event for KZ, but it grew far beyond that in just a few short months. Adventure Hunt hosts real life treasure hunts, scavenger hunts and corporate events all over the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
