Tom Elliott, Co-Founder & CEO of Content Kings, Inc. (CKMG) launched the company in January of 2006 out of a loft in "South Beach" Miami, Florida. Born in Washington DC to a collegiate athlete and Olympian father, Tom acquired a love for competitive sports (and anything else competitive for that matter) at an early age. Excelling in sports and social activities... Tom was very difficult to pin down while growing up in Fremont, CA and finishing up HS in Prescott, AZ - eager to experience all aspects of life to the absolute fullest.

 

Grandson to two entrepreneurs; Thomas Elliott (founder of the L.A.C.D and a successful Beverly Hills based printing business) and Leo Gomez (Korean Wartime Paratrooper & 30 year plus business owner of Buena Park Tool); leadership and entrepreneurship have always been in his blood. After graduating high school Tom followed his Grandfather Leo's footsteps and volunteered for the Airborne - where he spent 3 years serving America as a Fire Support Specialist (Forward Observer) Paratrooper stationed at Fort Bragg, NC from 1997 - 1999.
