About OBDK

Owl Brand Discovery Kits (OBDK) was created in 1997 as a product of Owl Brand Supply Company's foray into procuring, packaging, and selling wholesale science supply products. Since that time, OBDK has become an industry leader by creating innovative and engaging products with a generous attitude toward serving our customers.

Our daily goal is to under promise and over deliver.

At the heart of the Owl Brand business philosophy is to serve others. As an an entrepreneur, it is my goal to demonstrate leadership and build community by serving others through service and quality. While there are always gaps in human perfection, our pursued desire is to be a light and encouragement through the process of procuring, processing, packaging, and retailing products - a model to other small businesses and entrepreneurs as part of a business strategy. We hope to serve our customers in a way that causes customers to reflect on their experience as an encouraging and positive moment in their day.

Serving others includes outside commitments that are underwritten by Owl Brand customers' purchases, including:

• Mission-Oaxaca. Mission Oaxaca is an outreach to the people of Oaxaca, Mexico who live in impoverished conditions including lack of adequate shelter, access to education, and access to medicine. Mission Oaxaca, founded by me and Salem business owner, Monte Baker, partners with Iglesia de Cristo, Center for Sharing, and Co-Serve International in bringing hope through programs that include pouring cement floors, latrines, and water cisterns for the poor. To date, we have built or participated in building more than 200 floors for homes in Oaxaca.
• Co-Serve International. Co-Serve is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching and sharing about servant leadership at places of learning around the world. We believe that building community is foundational to servant leadership and we endeavor to cultivate and model community wherever we go, giving hope where tragedy and poverty have caused immeasurable pain to people.
• Wolf Education & Research Center. Alongside teaching about prey and predator studies is the reality of teaching about other species, including the gray wolf. Not only have I run this program since 2006, but worked to bring attention to the needed lessons that teach about balanced ecosystems and the concept that the creation was perfect before humans ran the show--it's our job to maintain that precious balance so that future generations have the resources they need to thrive. The Wolf Center is such a place where education is the instrument of bringing change and protecting resources.

We could not do this outreach without the combination of a vigilant pursuit of excellence and the confidence you place in our products and services. We work together to serve others through serving your classroom needs, both creating tomorrow's budding scientists and naturalists, but also a community of caring and giving people.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
