John Pagano, 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. In his youth, John spent a lot of time helping out his father in the factory, and even sold 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 as well as their 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.
