our story

Three smiling people, two children and one woman, standing in front of red, white, blue, and silver balloons at a festive outdoor event. The children are wearing patriotic-themed outfits and matching shoes, and the woman is dressed in an American flag-themed top and denim shorts.

American Foam Cannon wasn't created in a boardroom. It was created around our kitchen table.

What started as our 11-year-old son's homeschool entrepreneurship project quickly became something our whole family believed in. We saw more than a fun business idea. We saw an opportunity to teach our son lessons that can't be learned from a textbook.

So we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.

Today, American Foam Cannon is proudly owned and operated by Mom and Dad, while our son helps grow the business behind the scenes. From brainstorming new ideas and building our brand to learning about customer service and entrepreneurship, every step is another lesson in turning a dream into reality.

Every foam party is more than just an event to us. It's another chance to create unforgettable memories for local families while showing our son what hard work, integrity, and great service look like in the real world.

We're incredibly proud of what we're building together, and we're grateful for every family that chooses to be part of the journey.

Oliver is an 11-year-old homeschool student with a big imagination and an entrepreneurial spirit. He loves learning, solving problems, and dreaming up new ideas, whether they're for American Foam Cannon or whatever challenge comes next.

When he's not helping behind the scenes with the business, you'll usually find him on a baseball diamond, soccer field, out fishing, practicing his guitar, or spending time with his family (especially his little brother, Wesley). He enjoys staying active, trying new things, and isn't afraid to think big.

His dreams are just as ambitious. Some days he wants to become a NASCAR driver. Other days it's a professional athlete. No matter where life takes him, he hopes to one day attend a top university to study business and continue building companies that make a difference.

For our family, American Foam Cannon is about much more than foam parties. It's an opportunity for Oliver to learn lessons that can't be taught in a classroom: how to work hard, serve others, solve problems, lead with integrity, and build something from the ground up.
