Who is Kassie


Who is Kassie? I'm a shoe-aholic, recovering CPA, and serial entrepreneur who embraces the challenges of chasing my dreams while chasing down my children (and boy are they fast). In 2004, my love of shoes led me to start SimplySoles from my dining room armed with a 1-800 number and state-of-the-art tape gun in hand (yes - I bought the most expensive one as a symbolic measure meant to encourage feverish use). We moved into the basement (partly because we expanded and partly because I married a man who likes to cook...and thus wanted to reclaim the dinner table). And eventually after a few other pit stops, we moved into our current Oxon Hill, Maryland location at The National Harbor.
