Dave Graff-bOARD cHAirman

Dave is the founder and Board Chairman of Playtime Tech and currently serves as President of Graff Group Market Intelligence based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  

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 was born in 2016.  Playtime Tech became a Minnesota nonprofit corporation on Alice's birthday, May 1, 2018.
