Even at the age of 12, Todd Kaplan was already a business man. When he grew his one man candle making company (run from his mother’s Long Island kitchen) to employ eight, it was the beginning of a journey that would lead through many different industries, through Fortune 50 and 500 companies, and within 30 years, grow to employ thousands of people in the United States and Europe.

Todd currently lives in Southern California with his wife Denise and only a few miles away from his kids and his grandson, whom he enjoys spending time with on an almost daily basis.
