Leadership
Toni Shuppe
Founder and CEO
Toni grew up in the small town of New Castle, Pennsylvania. After graduating from high school in 1997, Toni left New Castle to attend Penn State University in State College at the University Park campus. She graduated in December of 2001 with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering and started her corporate career in the nuclear industry working for a power plant in Beaver County as a design change implementation engineer. Before long, Toni found herself wondering if there was more to life than sitting in a cubicle and trading her time for a paycheck.
In the fall of 2002, she met her husband who introduced her to her first business mentor in one 24 hour time period. This one day ended up changing the course of her life forever. A business opportunity that was coupled with a cutting edge mentorship program allowed her to walk away from the corporate world at the age of 28. Today, Toni is a full-time entrepreneur, a wife, a home school mom of 3 girls, a political activist, and a constitution coach. She has become very passionate about freedom, free enterprise, and educating her fellow Americans on the foundational principles that made America the most successful, free, and prosperous nation that the world has ever known.
Karen Taylor
Founder and CFO
Karen is originally from Atlanta Georgia, and after graduating high school in 2002 she attended Georgia southern university. Going into her junior year she ended up in an almost fatal car accident which caused her to move back home to spend 18 months of rehabilitation learning to walk again.
Through some contacts she made during that rehabilitation period, she began working in marketing with General Motors and was a casualty of the economic downfall and General Motors bail out. She then transitioned into the medical field where she worked in various positions for over ten years, most recently Medical Administration and accounting before leaving the corporate realm behind for good.
During her move from Georgia to Pennsylvania she got connected with Toni through her now husband and has been a mentee of Toni ever since. Her grandparents were very active in the Republican Party and she is honored to follow in their footsteps with her conservative views. Karen is a mom of 2, an entrepreneur, a political activist, and a constitution coach. She is very passionate about preserving our Constitution, along with our freedoms and liberties for the next generation.
