An origin story like no other.
It all started with a toad.
In June of 2025, just after one in a string of frustrating work conversations, I nearly stepped on a toad.
On my bedroom floor.
I’m not one to think the universe takes time to tell me (or anyone) anything, and yes, this toad had simply gone astray by hopping through an open sliding glass door, but I still took it as a sign I couldn’t ignore: A quick Google search revealed that toads symbolize transformation and renewal, as well as intuition, resilience, hidden beauty, luck, and prosperity.
Several days later, I decided the toad was worth heeding. I quit my job and swore that never again would I waste my time building a brand that bores me.
Two days after my last day of work, the vision for Boondocker came to me. Ever since, I’ve been obsessed with how technology can solve one of the most pressing problems for people who live in rural areas: finding fun things to do, quickly and easily, without having to wade through scattered event listings, community calendars, and social posts.
Without me knowing it, my entire career in tech marketing has been barreling toward Veerio, complete with deep experience in brand building, mobile ad tech, analytics, and custom software development, plus a deep appreciation for what makes tech companies healthy and productive.
