Andrew Pizzullo - Founder
Andrew, known to his friends as Pizzy, is the founder of Pizzy Products. Andrew is an entrepreneur and innovator at heart - always coming up with new ideas or looking for the next opportunity to capitalize on. He remembers one of his first services as a young kid being the removal of harmful beatles from his neighbors' plants, charging a nickel for each beatle removed. He would go on to more normal, more profitable jobs as he grew into his teens like shoveling snow and cutting grass. Andrew majored in Information Technology with minors in Computer Science and Business at the University of Missouri - Columbia. Andrew is a dreamer and can think outside of the box. Every idea is worth considering to him, no matter how crazy it may seem. He hopes that one day, one of these crazy ideas will be the big one that hits... hopefully it is Rampz.

What about Rampz?
What about Rampz?
After graduating, Andrew would travel frequently as an IT Consultant and would often watch Shark Tank when in his hotel room. It was on the way back from one of these business trips in February of 2020 that Andrew boarded his plane and set his mind to coming up with an invention, something that was on his mind quite frequently over the previous two months. He sat down and started to think about yard games, trying to focus on something that was new. He thought about how there were games where you throw and toss, but not really any where you roll. The idea for what is now Rampz came rather quickly, albeit the rolling didn't work out in the end. The rest of the flight was spent drawing up sketches of targets, further developing game play, and making lots of revisions. Once home, he pitched his idea to his mom & dad, the ultimate test. Aside from a terribly funny product name created from a name generator online, they were actually interested - a point Andrew had not yet been able to get to. For the next 3 years or so we were building prototypes, making revisions, applying for patents, setting up the LLC, and finally, creating promotional & how to videos with the finalized prototype. We are currently working with our manufacturer to create the final design and will soon be launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise enough funds to make Rampz a reality.
