John Pagano, the owner of Swing Set Systems, has a family history in the toymaking industry. John's father opened his very own toy manufacturing business in Brooklyn, New York, so John spent a lot of time in his youth helping out his father in the factory and even selling toys to his classmates at school.

Now, as an adult and a father, he is continuing the family legacy through Swing Set Systems by providing children with a safe, creative space to exercise their bodies and imaginations. In doing so, John hopes to pull their attention away from the ever-present screens of the digital age and encourage them to engage with the world around them.
