Olivier Sauve and Joshua Lindsay are both graduates of Holland College's Sport and Leisure Management program (Class of 2008), inventors, entrepreneurs, and business partners. They have started a brand new company with their patent-pending fork accessory, the Forktula.  The Forktula is being distributed both locally and internationally and is available in a custom-branded version as well - look for it in a restaurant near you!  Olivier and Josh both credit many of the topics covered in their Holland College program, such as entrepreneurship, marketing, and financial accounting, as being very helpful in their startup!
 
We love to keep up with what our alumni are doing!
