Monkey Business, LLC was launched in Monmouth County, New Jersey in October of 2008 by Tricia Kline.  Tricia received her degree in Therapeutic Recreation from the University of Southern Maine in 1997.  While in college and since graduating she has dedicated her time to working with children in day care, after school and summer camp programs.

Tricia has worked as the Assistant Camp Director for the Greater Portland YMCA in Maine; the Unit Manager for the Chelsea Unit of the Atlantic City Boys & Girls Club in New Jersey; The School Age Director at Sunshine Child Development Center in Rhode Island; the Creative Director for Clown Around Town (a party company on Cape Cod, MA), and most recently as the Program Manager of the Boys & Girls Club of Air Station Cape Cod – a program she developed and managed for the US Coast Guard on the military base on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Monkey Business, LLC was started in order to allow Tricia to be home after school for her two sons, Cameron and Riley.  Her husband of ten years, James, serves in the US Coast Guard.  His recent transfer to Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island has given them the opportunity to meet a wonderful group of friends and business partners in their New Jersey neighborhood.  Tricia volunteers her time as an Eatontown Youth Committee Advisor and a cup stacking coach for the Fort Monmouth Youth Services Program.  She is a member of the Meadowbrook PTO and Shore Women Networking Group which supports women business owners in Monmouth County and around the state.
