The big guy I saw on Shark Tank was this little guy? Where have the years gone?
  Congrats to your son and his proud dad!

Wow Ryan, where did you dig up that picture? Must be from a Big Bear run. Way cool! Hope you are doing well. Would love to get back to WSIR with the old gang sometime...I do need a car, though :--)
Been offline for a while and was able to spend some time this past weekend in CT with the my son and his family, especially the new grandson, who was referenced on the show. It's been quite the whirlwind for them, interviews, shows, radio stations, newspapers, etc. Keep in mind, though, that Shark Tank is reality TV and was interesting to hear the details. A dump truck did not show up at their house with a pile-o-cash. They have concerns about whack jobs thinking they must have a safe full of cash in the house. Not the case. Cannot say much more, but the licensing deal is full speed ahead and taking orders for the product. I am proud beyond words. Sure, this whole thing has been an amazing experience, but I am proud because my son has incredible interaction with his kids, takes care of and protects his family, and he and his wife are a great team. The money could make life easier, but it will not change them. Their careers are centered around helping other people, and they will continue to do that. Appreciate all the kind words and support!

was just searching around banggood for some electronics bits and I am sorry to say they seem to be selling a knock off of this. I am guessing this is not licensed right?
Bangood is known in the RC world to sell "replica" electronics and kits that are nearly identical to the legitimate counterparts. https://www.banggood.com/Multifunctional-Car-Door-Pedal-Foldable-Truck-Doorstep-Safety-Hammer-Roof-Rack-Assistance-Universal-p-1362612.html?rmmds=category&cur_warehouse=CN

Wow, the bang good is a replica but I guess to circumvent the copyrights (if there is any, I don't know) the added more stuff, which is not bad, actually...
Sorry for your kid that someone else stole his idea..

I think since Daymond bought the "company" for $3M, it's his problem now.

There are patent troll companies who claim a large ambiguous swath..wait for others to sell it..and then attempt to collect after the fact.
