Team

Brian Goodell, the co-founder and driving force behind BibBoards, is a man of many talents and boundless ambition. With a career trajectory that spans college sports to trying out for the NFL, real estate investment, entrepreneurship, and even modeling and acting, Goodell's journey to launching BibBoards is nothing short of remarkable.

It all began with Goodell's collegiate athletic career as a standout wide receiver at Idaho State University. While his time on the field was promising, it was his transition to the world of real estate investment that set the stage for his entrepreneurial endeavors. Under the mentorship of real estate mogul Frank Lembi, Goodell honed his skills and developed a keen eye for opportunity.

However, it was Goodell's foray into invention and entrepreneurship that truly showcased his innovative spirit. Co-inventing a patented accessory called DipTops, Goodell successfully built a brand and nationwide distribution network, ultimately placing DipTops in over 30,000 retail locations across the country in less than 3 years.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Goodell ventured into the realm of social commerce shopping and sharing, founding the company University of Social Commerce to help enterprises capitalize on emerging opportunities online vs in retail brick and mortar. His diverse experiences as a model, actor, and talent agent further enriched his entrepreneurial journey, providing invaluable insights and skills that would later prove instrumental.

Robert Greenspoon co-founded BibBoards with Brian Goodell, and serves as its CFO. Robert invented and patented the original BibBoards product – a two-piece snap fastener that replaces safety pins for recreational athletes, so that athletes no longer need to fumble with safety pins when putting on their racing numbers. BibBoards now reaches medical channels as 4Ears – a mask fastener that lets wearers be safe in comfort. Robert is also an award-winning patent attorney, with a national reputation for speaking out for inventors’ rights. Robert and Brian originally met during Robert’s successful litigation of an infringement dispute for Brian’s company DipTops.
