Jeff Grogin, a seasoned attorney specializing in corporate law, brings 15 years of business transactions experience to his role as president of Snood, one of the hottest shareware puzzle games available via the Internet. Grogin assumed the role as Snood's president in 1999 after he purchased the rights to the game from its author, David McCullough Dobson.

The game initially captured Grogin's interest, not just because of its stimulating and fun nature, but also because of the potential he saw in the game's marketability through its characters. To date, Grogin has secured major licensing deals with reputable companies, such as THQ, Real Networks and Destination Software. In addition, through alliances he secured with Jerry Leigh Entertainment Apparel and Applause Toys, Snood merchandise and toys have been manufactured and are now available at www.snood.net/store. He continues to survey the industry landscape on a regular basis to identify additional partners for Snood. Additionally, Grogin provides overall strategic direction for the company in the hopes of making Snood the top-played Internet game on a worldwide basis.

In addition to heading up Snood, Grogin founded his own law practice at the beginning of 1991. At the firm, Samaha Grogin, LLP, Grogin specializes in business transactions with an emphasis on intellectual property and real property law. This experience provided Grogin with a strong legal and business foundation that he has leveraged to catapult Snood into major global success. In fact, Grogin cites his prior professional accomplishments in helping him recognize the success that Snood could attain, "My licensing experience was pivotal in convincing me that Snood was marketable."

Aside from his professional endeavors, Grogin is actively involved in the community serving on State Speaker of the Assembly Robert Hertzberg's Small Business Advisory Committee as well as on the San Fernando Valley Anti-Defamation League Advisory Board. He also participates in local fundraising activities for the Arthritis Foundation.

Grogin graduated from Loyola Law School of Los Angeles with cum laude honors. While there, he served as president of the honor society, participated in Law Review and received the Alumni Association Award at the graduation ceremony. He received his bachelor's of science degree in Broadcasting from the University of Florida. Grogin resides in Southern California with his wife and two children, all of whom are huge fans of Snood.
