Meet Allison:

The Seaweed Bath Co.: What did you do prior to coming to work for The Seaweed Bath Co (TSBC)?

Allison Grossman: I was a creditor’s rights and bankruptcy litigation attorney in Miami, Florida.

TSBC: What attracted you to come to work at TSBC?

AG: My husband, Adam, and I founded The Seaweed Bath Co., and we had the idea that we could really help people who suffer from difficult skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. I love the product line and I love what I do.

TSBC: Where did you go to college and what did you study as an undergrad?

AG: I went to the University of Texas where I majored in communications. I also went to the University of Texas for law school.

TSBC: If you were elected President tomorrow, what would be your first Executive Order?

AG: The first thing I’d do is support legislation to increase funding for education. That’s just so important for today’s children and for our nation as a whole in the future.

SBC: If you could take a two-week vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go, why would you go there, and who would you take with you?

AG: I would backpack through Asia because I have always wanted to go there. And it goes without saying that I would take my husband, Adam.

TSBC: What is your favorite Seaweed Bath Co. product and why?

AG: I love the shampoos and conditioners because they detangle my curls and make my hair soft and shiny.

TSBC: What else is there that we should know about?

AG: Well, I’m almost nine months pregnant, and Adam and I are expecting a baby girl in January 2012.
