George “Skip” Mergatroid & Bob Rief

George “Skip” Murgatroyd is an AV rated attorney (highest) and listed in Marquis Who’s Who in American Law and recipient of the Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award.

Wanting to try something new, in 2009 he teamed up with the former designer of K-Swiss Shoes who he met while walking his dog on a beach in Malibu, CA. Together they created OTZShoes. Knowing they needed management help, they convinced Bob Rief to join the company. Bob righted the ship and took the company to a very profitable exit.
