Don Ullman and Bob Driscoll

Nominated for Don't Step In It

Bio:

Don Ullman has been inventing for over 20 years and, according to his wife Anne of 30 years, is still very much a child. Inspired by his two musical children, Don is learning to play the piano. Other products from Don include last year’s TAGIE winner Soggy Doggy, Pimple Pete, Loaded Lemons, Disney DuckTales Shake Your Tail Game, Hamster Race, and Alien Invasion.

Bob: I started my career with Hasbro, where I worked with many great individuals on game design and development. I also had the opportunity to work with terrific outside inventors on Hasbro licensed games. This provided me with an invaluable education in game design. And, fortunately, Hasbro also gave me the opportunity to do some internal inventing, where I invented games like Scrabble Flash. After leaving Hasbro in 2012 to pursue inventing and consulting, I met Don Ullman and the inventing part of my career really took off. And, we’ve had some great success in placing concepts over the last few years.
