About Us
Our Story
Donny and David are former college coaches who have spent time at just about every level of the game – grassroots, public high school, Boys and Girls Club, junior college, NCAA Divisions I and III. In February of 2023, a simple idea sparked the journey.
After leaving his last college coaching job, Donny transitioned into the training business and immediately encountered a common yet frustrating problem: sloppy looking gyms with basketballs scattered everywhere during practice! After scouring Amazon, Google and everywhere else on the web, he discovered no rack on the market met his needs resulting in the proverbial “aha moment!” Wanting a rack with compact storage capabilities, and a rugged design that was easy to carry in and out of his various gyms, Donny quickly sketched out a general concept and filed for a patent. Shortly thereafter in the late summer of 2023, Donny received a call from his longtime friend and coaching colleague, David K! Wanting to discuss his experience in transitioning out of the NCAA ranks, one cup of coffee quickly led to 4 more, and just like that a partnership was formed. Fast forward through 10 name changes, an incredible collaboration with a Somerville, MA engineering firm, and many lessons along the way, The Monorack officially hit the market in 2024.
