The idea of Rocket Sloth started a few years ago, when my Dad’s MS symptoms were progressing more rapidly. He was losing strength and control of his legs which caused him to move a lot slower and more awkwardly than he ever had. He’s also very enthusiastic about all things outer space, so I thought it would be fun to have a sloth riding a rocket to symbolize what my Dad was going through in an uplifting way. Suddenly, the Rocket Sloth was born.

The original Rocket Sloth concept morphed into an idea of how I look at life: go fast, but keep it chill. We live in a world that tells us we have to move at lightning speed to be successful, but the truth is that everything good takes time and there is no rush.
