Meet Our Team
Maria
CEO/Founder
I'm the owner and founder of Nokbox and I live in Littleton Colorado. I started the Nokbox in my garage with the help of friends and family, and the team we have now is still an incredible group of friends and family! After three years of getting the company off the ground, I now manage the day to day operations as well as assist all of our teams in the work that they do. While running a company tends to be all-encompassing, I love spending time with my teenager, traveling, hiking around with our cockapoo, and being at the beach in my home state of New Jersey..
