Our inventor Randall G. Smith successfully ran a
construction company for years before making the decision
to take care of his brother Dane. Randy had vision and he
brought that with him to each of his jobs as he transformed
the job sites from ordinary to extra-ordinary. Randy’s skilled
craft and attention to detail brought beauty to people’s lives,
allowing them to enjoy their yards and patios on the new
decks and sun shades that Randy had built. Randy has
always been an inventor and a creator, with the ability to see
what possibilities there are for a space and through this his
visions, he has always been able to bring comfort through
his work. Much along the same lines, Randy wanted to
ensure that he brought comfort to his brother as they were
out in the mountains enjoying nature. That is why and how
Randy invented the Tumok.
Sam is an Army veteran. He has
been a leader on many different capacities both in the
military and in the corporate world. Sam brings a strong work
ethic and leadership abilities that have helped him along his
career.
Sam has always been a huge fan of adventure and
being outdoors and a few years after he returned from his
last deployment, he married the love of his life. When he
learned about the amazing product that Randy had invented,
Sam was hooked and wanted to help to get it to everyone
who also enjoyed being in nature and outdoors like he did.
The Original Tumok was founded by our family for all outdoor
enthusiasts looking for a way to enjoy nature in comfort.
Our inventor and founder, Randy, initially had the idea to create the Tumok for his brother Dane to be able to continue enjoying the outdoors like he
loved to do.
Dane was a star athlete growing up, lettering in both football and
baseball. Dane and Randy were lucky enough to grow up in Utah,
which exposed them from an early age to the outdoors and really
instilled a love and appreciation for nature. If Dane wasn't on the
field, he was in the mountains and Randy was right there with his
big brother.
After a knee injury took Dane off the field, he continued to do what he could to stay active. Dane also loved to help people, and because pursuing a career as a professional athlete was out of the question, Dane decided to become a nurse. Dane enjoyed a fulfilling career as a nurse, until another obstacle was placed before him.
Dane was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia, which attacked his body making it more difficult for him to move around and be as active as he used to be.
Still, Randy wanted his big brother to enjoy the outdoors like they both loved to do, so he would take Dane snowshoeing or cross-country skiing during the winter or hiking during the summer at least three times a week. Randy noticed that it was taking Dane much longer to get ready, and that Dane could not stay out in the mountains as long as he used to because of his knee and because of the neurological disease he was dealing with.
Randy decided he was going to do something about it to help his brother enjoy nature longer. After extensive research, he was not able to find a viable
solution. So, he decided to make something himself. After several different trials and prototypes Randy came up with the Tumok; an essential compact portable chair for outdoor junkies.
A few years later, Sam joined the family and saw what Randy had
created and loved the idea and the story behind the Tumok and felt like it should be available to everyone. Together, the family started working towards bringing Randy’s creation and vision to fruition so that the world could enjoy
it like Randy had envisioned for his brother Dane.
The team continued to refine The Original Tumok and find innovative ways to
improve the design to ensure that a quality product, along with the best service possible is provided to our customers.
We love you and miss you, Dane!!!
