John Cronin knew he wanted to start a business with his dad after high school but needed a killer idea. Cronin, who is 22 and has Down syndrome, has a passion for colorful outfits and socks that began in fourth grade, and his fashion resolve led to his lightbulb idea for John’s Crazy Socks, a flourishing online store launched in late 2016.
Based in Huntington, New York, the company has grown into a multi-million-dollar business with an inventory of more than 2,000 unique, cheerful and vibrant socks. The company recently gave employees business cards and an email address through Microsoft Office 365, the first time many of them had ever had an email account. Along with Surface Pro devices, the cloud-based technology has helped John’s Crazy Socks manage its growing business and communicate directly with staff – and not just with their parents and guardians.
