Larry Killgallon, President & COO

Who better than an experienced pilot to keep The Ohio Art Company flying high? Meet Larry Killgallon, Ohio Art’s President and COO.

Larry developed and refined his extraordinary leadership skills early in life. Larry earned his undergraduate degree at Dartmouth College where he was a leader both in the classroom and on the football field. As their starting nose tackle, Larry was a member of an Indian team who finished the year with a nearly perfect season and won the IVY League Championship. After graduation from Dartmouth, he continued his education at another top-notch school, the University of Virginia’s Darden Graduate School of Business, where he earned his MBA and later would become Trustee.

After completing his MBA, Larry spent several years working for the Coca-Cola Company in Marketing/Sales. Today, and for nearly 30 years, Larry’s entrepreneurial spirit has been leading Ohio Art to new heights in the toy industry.

Larry’s favorite toys are the Classic Etch A Sketch and its digitized cousin, the Etch A Sketch Animator. His life’s ambition is that every child will experience the magic of Etch A Sketch.

Larry loves to travel, meet new people, try new and interesting foods and to do all this with his wife, five children and grandson at his side.
