Check out the latest interviews with Kim Overton.

In her own words:

Hello! I’m Kim Overton, the creator of the Original SPIbelt. People ask me all the time, “how did you come up with this?” I was out on a run one fall day and I had my key tucked into my sports top. This was the most frustrating thing, and I thought, “there’s gotta be a better way!”. (Donny Deutsch loves that line, and invited me to his show February 2008, please watch the video). That exact day I went home and sewed the first ever SPIbelt. I filed a patent February 2007, and started the “small personal item belt” business. I sewed the first several hundred by hand, hired local help continue the process.

My background stems from business and fitness. I’ve always been an entrepreneur, running several ventures as a child, at the same time I was a competitive gymnast most of my young life through high-school.

I moved to NYC in 1992, and co-founded and operated a back-end technology company in NYC from 1997 – 2001. In 2001, I launched the interactive department in the NYC advertising agency, The Lord Group. Witnessing the events of 9/11, I decided to take on a career that made a difference and became a personal trainer at Equinox in NYC. I fell deeply in love with helping improve the lives of others, and hold that value close to heart with each product we produce at SPIbelt.

Don’t be fooled by imitators – just look for the SPIbelt label inside the belt for authenticity. We are the creators of the Original Small Personal Item Belt, etc. 2007.
