Meet Heath & Joey
Two dads who realized their phones were getting in the way the important things in life and set out on a journey to solve it for other families as well.
Heath Wilson
Heath lives in Knoxville, TN with his wife, four kids, and two dogs. Prior to founding Aro, Heath was a co-founder of the fintech company, eVestment. Later in his time at eVestment, Heath realized his relationship with his phone was negatively impacting his relationship with his family. He wasn't present with the most important people in his life and he was not modeling good behaviors for his kids.
He's famous for saying, "I'm going to solve this problem for my own family, and I know if I can solve it for mine, I can solve it for others."
Oh yeah, and he hasn't slept with his phone in his bedroom for years. He is pretty proud of that.
Joey Odom
Joey recently relocated to Knoxville, TN from Atlanta with his wife and two kids. Prior to founding Aro, Joey was an executive in commercial real estate, and like Heath, realized his phone was distracting him from the most important thing in life - his family.
He's famous for saying, "When you change your relationship with your phone, you change your relationship with everyone around you, including yourself."
Joey is the heart behind Aro, and we can't call it a work day if he hasn't cried or made someone else cry.
