Hi,

I would like to introduce myself and my daughter to Central Texas as the new owners of the Baby Safe Homes franchise serving greater Central Texas and based out of Austin. I am Danny Kozelsky working alongside my daughter Veronica Johnson. We are both native Texans. I was born in Houston and spent most of my early years there until getting married. After the expected arrival of our first child, Veronica, my wife and I moved to our parents' hometown of Moulton, TX where we resided for the next 20 years. My children are now age 28 and 25, Veronica being the oldest, and my son Cliff is 25, so I have years of experience raising two kiddos, including an adventurous (and sometimes fearless) young boy!

I almost don’t like telling this story as it could have been very tragic, but it involves my daughter and she gave me the ok. When she was almost 2 years old, I was in the yard practicing my golf swing, which I did almost daily. As I was swinging a few practice swings with a metal 3 wood (for you golfers, you know what this is- if not, just ask a friend and they can describe it to you), I swung really fast, and I think you can guess where this is going....somehow little Veronica managed to get out of the house, slip past her mom, and before I knew it walked right in front of a full swing in progress. At that point all I could do is pull up on the swing as fast as possible. Yes, I hit her in the forehead, but with God’s grace, it was luckily only on the shaft and on an upward glance. Of course, this was enough to create a golf ball sized knot on her head, and what felt like a life ending heart attack for me! We rushed her to the ER, and again, with God on our side, she was just fine with a big knot that just needed some ice and time to subside. Point of this story is that after this horrible experience, I was always aware of making sure the kids stayed in safe areas. I felt like a pioneer of this industry when I myself began attempting to babyproof our home on my own, with no knowledge, resources or products available at the time. Needless to say, I struggled and tried several different things before some finally worked. Having worked in the building supply industry and consumer electronics industry most of my life, I'm very familiar with the construction of homes and the areas in and around a home that pose as possible dangers for infants and young children. Thus, I'm very excited to bring my experience, knowledge and Baby Safe Homes services to those parents out there that may be in the same position I was in 25 years ago- wanting to protect your children the best way you possibly can, but not knowing where to start or how to choose the right products and trying to determine what's most suitable for your home and family. It's really amazing how the baby safety industry has progressed, but most importantly, it's the knowledge and expertise that we bring to you and your family to help protect your children. At this time, reflecting back on all the years raising my children and wanting nothing more than to protect them, I'm really excited to now have a business where I'm able to help other parents, like yourself, with something I feel so passionate about.

Veronica is also ecstatic to be a part of Baby Safe Homes and to bring her knowledge and experience to help assist parents with this very important need. Veronica has been involved in safety-related job functions and in the medical industry in Austin and surrounding areas for several years, being employed by an electric cooperative, where part of her role was teaching children electrical safety, and then being employed by a major urgent care facility. During her years of experience, she has gained knowledge of electrical hazards, learned how to prevent hazards and has also seen, first-hand, the common injuries in children. All of this makes her a great asset to our team. In addition, Veronica also loves working with parents, families and children in community, school and volunteer events. Participating in hands-on events is something we would love to do more of and we welcome any opportunities to come out and speak to or work with a group to help educate or just answer any questions.

We look forward to helping all the families in Austin and the Central Texas area in any way we can. We believe that if we can help bring peace-of-mind to a new parent or a family as they begin their new journey with their child, then we will make a positive impact on their future and we can only hope to always be a little part of their family too.
