About Bob Negen
Bob Negen founded the Mackinaw Kite Co., a chain of specialty toy and kite shops, in his early 20s. Over the next 20 years Bob developed the critical business skills he needed to turn the Mackinaw Kite Co.’s first pitiful annual sales of $17,000 into a successful multi-million-dollar business. In 1999, Bob formed WhizBang! Training with his wife, Susan Negen, also an accomplished retailer. Bob now shares his hard-won knowledge so that other retail store owners can more quickly and easily turn their passion into profit.
