Kody Bateman founded SendOutCards in 2004. In 1989, as Kody was rushing to move his young family to New York City for a new job opportunity, he ignored a prompting to say goodbye to his brother Kris in person. A few months later, he received word his brother died in a tragic accident. Kody made a promise to himself and to his brother Kris that night, that he would never ignore another prompting and would find a way to help others act on their inner promptings. From this promise, SendOutCards was born.
