Toucanz founder Beth VanStory is passionate about getting kids off the couch and being active. She believes that healthy habits need to start young and is proud to be working to promote healthy kids.
Recognizing that children are spending increasing amounts of time in front of video games and television, she set out to use the medium they love to get them active. Thus was born the concept for Toucanz Trail Obstacle Adventure. To ensure safety and real exercise benefits, she worked with two exercise physiologists to create the video.
Prior to founding Toucanz, Beth was an executive with several companies ranging from startups to the Fortune 500. She launched and led Officedepot.com for the retailer as well as weather.com for The Weather Channel. She also served on the board of Michaels Stores.
Outside of work she enjoys many physical activities including pilates, yoga, skiing, biking and hiking. But her favorite activity is spending time with her daughter who she’s pleased to report is already very active and loves vegetables.
