UCOBO has already had a successful Kickstarter campaign and are preparing for their second campaign with IndieGoGO in the coming months.
Outside of work, Simo leads a very active and healthy lifestyle. Simo’s day often begins with a 1hr strength and conditioning program before enjoying his morning with his two kids.
