Peter Read is the founder and inventor of BUKBORD, a tabletop game that began as a simple pastime inspired by the gameplay involving buckeye seeds. While living beneath a buckeye tree (figuratively speaking), Pete would collect fallen buckeyes and toss them into a hole in his table, discovering the fun in this activity. His inspiration led to the creation of the first BUKBORD in 2012, and he has been handcrafting each game ever since.
A few years later, Pete met Matt Dykstra, an aspiring sports official from Chicago, who was in search of quality sports equipment for umpires and chose Reads Sporting Goods. A friendship blossomed between the two, uniting them through their shared passion for sports and entertainment.
The essence of BUKBORD captures the spirit of fun and creativity. With the ideas of 'BUK AROUND. FIND OUT!' leading the way, Matt and Pete decided to take BUKBORD to the next level. They began to share the exciting news with their close friends and business affiliates, all of whom also thrive in the sports and fitness industry. Thus, BUKBORD was officially born!
