Our Story

Hi there! I’m Matt, a husband, engineer, and dad to four awesome kids. Like most parents, I just want to keep my kids safe, especially when it comes to something as simple as sharing a meal together.

Totchop started at our kitchen table during those busy early years of high chairs, toddler snacks, and cut-up grapes. What began as a small frustration—how slow and tricky it was to prep food safely—quickly turned into something much more serious after a choking scare with our youngest daughter.

One minute we were laughing over dinner, and the next we were on the phone with 911, performing the Heimlich, and doing anything we could to have her regain responsiveness. Thankfully, she ended up okay after vomiting, but that moment really stuck with me.

As both a parent and an engineer, I started thinking: there has to be a better way. I wanted a tool that made food prep faster, helped reduce choking risks, and was easy enough to use every day. I also wanted something that could empower my kids to learn in the kitchen. So, I teamed up with a few friends, and that’s how Totchop was born.

Now, our family uses the products every day. They're fast, easy to clean, and actually fun to use. The new Finger-Safe version means my kids can safely join in too, which makes mealtime feel more connected (and way less stressful).

Totchop was created by a real parent with real concerns, just like you. We’re so glad you’re here and can’t wait to be part of your family’s kitchen story.
