Otis started his journey into the world of App building in 2013. He recognized a world of exercise-minded people from all walks of life, cultures, and customs, but with one thing in common -- getting fit. With a team of experienced professionals, Otis developed GYMatch, and with the arrival of  a unique mobile app for a worldwide customer base, the world of physical fitness would change forever. GYMatch is available on both iOS and Android devices. www.gymatch.com

Otis’ twenty-one years in the financial services industry gave him a fantastic foundation for his entrepreneurial work. There he gained hands-on experience in making strategic business decisions, guiding clients in financial insurance planning, assessing individuals to determine specific financial plans to meet their needs, managing clients’ portfolios, and building excellent rapport with a broad spectrum of individuals including clients, staff and senior management.

Otis is also the founder, brand champion and licensing leader of JebCoolKids Entertainment and its flagship character, “Jeb the Giraffe.” These highly engaging characters combine entertainment with powerful social and educational messages, encouraging children to read while reinforcing the idea that the world is a vast and exciting place where we can all live together in harmony. Otis’ deep passion, unrivalled creativity, and devout belief in his product ensured that Jebcoolkids entertainment would become an international brand. www.jebcoolkids.com

He’s now putting that same energy and passion to work for GYMatch.com. Otis couldn’t be more proud of the work he’s done to get this new twist on social media into the hands of health-conscious individuals worldwide.
