Child Safety Source Episode 37 - Jamie Goetsch

Child Safety Source

Jamie Goetsch spent 30 years in the computer software industry. In that time he worked for large worldwide companies and small startups. He saw several major technology disruptions and new technology adoption cycles in that time. Several years ago he was introduced to the size and scope of the drowning problem. He was at first shocked by the facts. He, like most people, did not know that it is the number one cause of unintentional death in 1-4 yrs, and number two 5-15. As he learned more, and especially after his first NDPA yearly meeting, he began to understand and internalize the huge societal cost and the crushing, but incalculable, pain and suffering that drowning causes year after year. The opportunity to bring a proven technology to the US market that can add an additional layer of safety to pools, and help reduce death and injury from drowning, has been gratifying.
