Meet the Team

Bump Club & Beyond (BCB) was started in 2010 by a mom-to-be in Chicago looking for a place to meet, connect, and find community during her pregnancy. In just under a decade BCB has become a premier destination for parents and parents-to-be as they prepare for and embark on their parenthood journey.

Bump Club & Beyond connects parents and parents-to-be with the best products, resources, information, and each other – both online and through thousands of premier events nationwide. BCB’s content and events are relevant for all parents – from expectancy through grade school.

From our corporate team to our market leaders across the country, and our experts, who provide our community with the BEST advice around, take a minute to meet the amazing team behind BCB.
