Todd McKellips is a social entrepreneur, philanthropist, chaplain and family man.\"What do you not do?\" Is something he hears quite often!

He is closely working with multiple non-profits and investors creating tiny home spaces for homeless and truly affordable housing. Since his early youth, his parents experienced poverty and having to sell nearly all our possessions to keep living in a safe humble home. At a very young age he started working and became a business owner and now has over twenty-six years of entrepreneurship experience running nine businesses currently, as well as an extensive background in criminal justice and public safety. In 2005 he was injured with Pierce County Sheriff Dept which led to homelessness, and a struggle to balance medical condition and a lifestyle of entrepreneurship.
