Meet MICHAEL RUSSELL, a beacon of innovation and family values hailing from the heart of Detroit's Brewster Projects. As a devoted husband and a doting father to two daughters, and recently stepping into the joyous role of a grandfather, Michael's life is a testament to his care for people and community. Michael's journey is marked by his ingenious invention, "No More Joy Rides," born out of a tragic incident and his heartfelt plea for divine inspiration.
His invention aims to curb the fatal consequences of unauthorized underage driving by making it nearly impossible for kids to take their parents' cars without permission.
Michael's path to creating this life-saving device started humbly with a Cheerios box prototype, evolving through various metal iterations, embodying his commitment to safeguarding lives. Before becoming an inventor, Michael worked as a dismantler in a junkyard, soaking in the mechanics and spirit of automobiles. His ambition and dedication led him to the Ford Motor Company, where he toiled to fund his vision and secure a patent for his invention. His relentless pursuit is not just about innovation; it's about education and making a tangible difference in preventing the unnecessary loss of young lives to joy rides.
Michael Russell's story is one of resilience, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to family and community safety. His journey from the Brewster Projects to becoming an inventor and a family man continues to inspire and impact lives, one invention at a time.

Always been in either construction or automotive, Ms. Mary Greer built a Millwork company from scratch, ran it successfully for over 10 years, sold it and retired. After retirement, she moved to Nashville. Was very bored staying at home so she went to work at Nissan of Cool Springs in Business Development. Loved the job and stayed there until she moved back home to Dallas, TX.
Once back in Dallas, Ms. Greer started working in Healthcare recruiting. Although she worked for a wonderful company, the job was not for her. She still did a little consulting on the subject but she was looking for something she loved.
Ms. Greer has always been environmentally conscious and wanted to take her current product and spread it out to farmers and homeowners. She is a firm believer in saving honeybees.
