Darin 'Bear' Straub

I am the Founder/Owner of KOE. 

Dedicated to bringing joy and happiness to the hearts of others.

About Me.

My name is Darin Straub, but you can call me Bear.

 

I was born in the 90s, a time before the internet became prevalent. I grew up playing Nintendo and Sega, and I spent countless hours watching cartoons and movies on VHS tapes. My fascination with the entertainment industry blossomed, as I admired the creativity and joy it brings to the minds and hearts of others.

 

As I got older, my interest in entertainment intensified, along with my own creativity. I began writing random scripts and lyrics, and I created characters for comic books; my ideas felt endless. Eventually, I discovered my dream of owning an entertainment company, allowing me to bring smiles to people’s faces across various forms of the industry. This is what I am actively pursuing in my life: to learn everything I can so that I can achieve the dream I am striving for.

 

I want to organize events, write books—whether they are novels or comics—produce movies, and create music. Who knows what ideas will continue to emerge from my imagination? I will be just as excited as you are when these creations finally see the light of day.

I have been involved in event assistance since 2014, contributing to various aspects such as setup and teardown, sales, fundraising, marketing, and occasional public speaking engagements.

​

Over the years, I have recognized my increasing potential within the entertainment and event industry. This journey has allowed me to emerge as a leader within my local community, my church, and the local scouting organization.

​

Throughout this process, I have gained valuable experience and insights that have enhanced my ability to excel in my passion. My roles have included serving as an emcee for scouting events, facilitating fundraising for church mission trips, and coordinating events such as a 5K, Winter Festival, and Craft Fair. Additionally, I have organized a conference to support entrepreneurial initiatives aimed at promoting a school minor, and I have been an active member of my college's chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America.

​

Through these experiences, I have acquired extensive knowledge and have derived significant fulfillment from engaging in activities that bring joy to others, fostering an entertaining and uplifting environment.
