As an Army helicopter pilot, Bubolz saw first-hand the benefits of animal-assisted interactions while deployed overseas. This experience inspired him to start a mission to spread smiles with his golden retriever, Ellie. After the military, Bubolz completed his MBA at the University of Minnesota and worked at several companies, from a small tech startup to Microsoft. Kevin has built a community of more than5 million people worldwide and averages more than 50 million monthly engagements on his social media (@EllieGoldenLife), blog, and website.

In early 2022, Kevin and his wife left corporate jobs to pursue their entrepreneurial passion full-time. Together their company, Golden Retriever Life, partners with brands to entertain, engage, and connect with diverse audiences through captivating content.
