Joe Altieri

I’m a serial entrepreneur – born with both an adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit; I’ve spent my life believing there’s always a better (and more fun) way to do just about everything.

Eventually, that innate curiosity and drive for a better mousetrap led me to invent the world’s first and only flexible window screen – which landed me on Shark Tank – which resulted in a deal with Lori Greiner (the Queen of QVC) – which catapulted my business in some pretty unbelievable ways. (You can read the full history of FlexScreen here.)

Although I’m old enough to be a grandfather, I’m still young enough to think I’m not that old, and I act accordingly most of the time. Seeking outdoor adventures has led me to many exciting and sometimes dangerous places where I take some calculated risks – some that work, some that don’t. In this way, my personal life parallels my professional life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

As the great Wayne Gretzky once said (or was it Michael Scott?) – “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” I don’t mind missing once in a while, but you’ll never find me on the sidelines without the ball.
