The game ideas themselves originate from being overgrown kids who love to have fun. Bill Holsten, who has a Masters' Degree in marketing and invents the games with his family, has trained with Doug Hall, one of America's best "creativity gurus" (he runs Eureka! Inventing and is a judge on the reality TV show American Inventor). Janet Holsten, Director of Sales, has had an accomplished career in customer service, and has also been a volunteer with PTAs and charities in organizing fundraising events. Others on WhirlWhims' team include moms who know what kids like to play and what it takes to succceed in games -- a Chicago face painter and a Long Island entrepreneur who's held hundreds of at-home parties.
