   Greg Roten is a devoted family man who knows that life lessons often come hard. He believes that if we introduce our children at an early age to some of life's most difficult challenges and, most importantly, how to respond to them, then they'll be better equipped to overcome the obstacles they encounter down the road. Greg's brainchild, Teddy Topper, was born circa 2010 and took years to fully develop. Greg hopes that Teddy Topper will be able to help children and adults around the world learn how to embrace the values that shaped his story.
