I have been somewhat of an innovator my whole life. Conceptualizing solutions to problems and just finding a better way to do certain things has always come naturally to me.

I have also been a bit of a news junky. Every year during hurricane season, I would watch the news and see people scrambling to get prepared for an imminent hurricane. City officials would inform area residents to board windows, stock up on water, food and other supplies for the pending storm. They recommended that residents fill their bathtubs with water because city utilities could be shut down for weeks and running water may be contaminated from flooding.
News footage would show people lined up outside of stores, waiting to buy survival necessities. Unfortunately, the shelves emptied rapidly and the food and water was soon gone. People would fill their bathtubs with water, however, these tubs could be dirty, but even if they were clean, dust and debris could easily get into the water, contaminating their supply.

It occurred to me that something could and should be done to contain and safeguard that water. I knew I had to devote myself to providing the solution and am so glad I did. After hours on end, sleepless nights, lots of research, moral support of family and so many loyal friends, this dream became a reality. “waterBOB” a food-grade bathtub bladder would be the solution and something that every home should have.
