ScreenSafe Inc. is a 501(c)(3)-pending nonprofit organization founded in 2025 by Erik and Casey, a husband-and-wife team and parents of three.
We started ScreenSafe Inc. after experiencing firsthand how quickly digital devices and online platforms can expose even the most carefully raised children to inappropriate content, predatory behavior, and addictive design patterns. Like many parents, we felt overwhelmed by constantly changing apps, hidden algorithms, and the sheer volume of new risks appearing every month. We realized that individual families – no matter how vigilant – cannot keep up alone, and that most existing parenting resources were either too technical, too alarmist, or too fragmented to be truly helpful.
ScreenSafe Inc. is built on three core beliefs:
1. Technology should benefit children, not exploit them.
2. Parents are the first and best protectors of their children – they just need reliable support and training in child online protection.
3. Online safety is a shared responsibility that works best when families learn and grow together in digital citizenship.
We’re here to walk alongside you with honest answers, step-by-step help, and a judgment-free community of parents who understand exactly what you’re going through. Welcome to the ScreenSafe family.
— Erik & Casey
Founders, ScreenSafe Inc.
EriK | Founder & Director
Erik is a husband and father of three who is dedicated to child online protection. Currently, he serves as an investigator with the Wisconsin Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, where he investigates online enticement, child sexual exploitation material, and predator networks across apps, games, and social platforms. A former U.S. Army intelligence operator with combat experience, Erik later transitioned to federal law enforcement before joining his current state-level task force, where he applies years of digital surveillance, intelligence collection, and undercover experience to every case.
Erik earned his bachelor's degree from Columbia Southern University and his Master’s degree from Purdue University. Having witnessed how quickly predators can target children—sometimes within minutes of a child going online—Erik co-founded ScreenSafe Inc. This initiative provides parenting resources to equip families with the tools and training needed for child online protection. It helps parents utilize built-in settings on their devices and explore affordable third-party applications to ensure digital citizenship and safety for their children.
Casey | Co-founder
Casey is a devoted stay-at-home mom to three young children, whose calm under pressure stems from her previous career as a firefighter and EMT, where she responded to emergencies with quick thinking and compassionate care. Transitioning from the front lines of physical crises to the home front of digital ones, Casey became Erik's very first "student" as their preteens began exploring smartphones, tablets, and social apps—quickly discovering the hidden dangers of cyberbullying, screen addiction, and unsolicited contacts that no fire drill could prepare her for.
As co-founder of ScreenSafe Inc., Casey brings a parent's relatable voice to the mission of child online protection, creating parenting resources like simple device checklists and family discussion guides that feel like advice from a trusted friend over coffee. She emphasizes that digital citizenship starts with connection—teaching moms and dads to model healthy habits, like shared screen time and "tech-free zones," while building kids' resilience against the emotional toll of digital pitfalls.
