Dave Graff

Founder & bOARD cHAirman

Dave attributes his inspiration to create Playtime Tech to his youngest adorable granddaughter, Alice. When Alice was 18 months old she became the first user of a Toddler Playboard.  Alice served as Chief Kid Officer of Playtime Tech in its early stages.  Alice is the inspiration Dave needed to begin making a significant difference in the lives of toddlers.  Dave wanted to “give back” to the community, thus Playtime Tech became a Minnesota nonprofit organization in 2018.
