    Blake Mycoskie's Interests
GeneralInterests: Fly fishing - there is nothing quite like standing knee deep in a turquoise blue river "hunting" a trout. We never kill or eat the fish, just catch and release. I call it "the dance". The great thing about fly fishing is it takes so much active concentration and skill to land a fly just above a rising trout so every other thought or worry disappears. A fly fisherman only has room in their mind for the task at hand, and that is his competitor: the fish. Sailing - I love living on the boat as much as sailing it. It rocks me to sleep, and sitting on the deck is instant relaxation.
MusicAnything that I can imagine playing in the background of my life's soundtrack.
MoviesDead Poet's Society. Many more I cannot think of right now.
TelevisionGrey's Anatomy, Lost
BooksOn the Road, Losing My Virginity (Branson's Biography), In Sam We Trust (Sam Walton's Bio), The Notebook, The Bible, Teddy Roosevelt's Bio, Ted Turner's Bio, Wild at heart, Mere Christianity, Old Man and the Sea, Celestine Profecy
HeroesThat is tough. I have many mentors in business, and several great friends I really admire, but most of all, I must say my parents...they really figured out this thing called life.

About me:





My life has gone in amazing and unexpected directions since I was young, and I could have never imagined that at age 31 my job title would be “Chief Shoe Giver.” I started the Shoes for Tomorrow project after traveling to South America in 2006. My goal was to learn to sail in Brazil and take polo lessons in Argentina but after befriending so many children who did not have shoes to protect their feet, I was inspired to create a business that would give back. My polo instructor, friend, and co-founder Alejo, and I spent the next few months in Argentina becoming shoe makers, and I returned to the States with a duffle bag full of shoes. My goal was to sell 10,000 pairs, and for every pair sold, one pair would be placed on a child in need. To date, TOMS has given over 140,000 pairs of shoes, and in 2009, TOMS plans to give 300,000 pairs of shoes to children around the world.

Blake, you are my hero and my inspiration.
My dream is to someday work for Toms Shoes. If you ever need extra help, I will be there in a heartbeat. What you do is such an amazing thing. You are such a great person. I have five pairs of Toms and I wear them absolutely everywhere. There was a little poll at my school and everyone said that I was the most likely to go to graduation wearing Toms, unlike all the other girls who wear high heels.
I don't go anywhere without my Toms, and I always try to tell people about them so you guys can give out more shoes to kids in need.
I love Toms and I love you Blake !
Thanks for all the great things you do, you're making a huge difference in the world!
