Management Team / Advisory Board Bios
Keith Gober, Founder
Keith Gober was born and raised in Tennessee. Growing up with dogs, it was a normal part of life to include his furry best friends in everything he did. From playing outside, to taking family summer road trips, to wrestling in the living room. And it’s a tradition that has carried over into his own family life. Today, his family dog, Lucy, goes with them everywhere and was the inspiration for creating Mangled Mascots. They enjoy spending time with her and watching her tear and mangle the squeakers out of her chew toys. Being the competitive family that they are, Keith wanted to find a toy with a sports mascot on it that Lucy could go to town on and shred to pieces. He went to a well-known pet store and as he was walking down the toy aisle, he was shocked that he didn’t find it. There wasn’t a single product on the market that catered to sports fans and dog lovers!
