Louis Foreman is the Executive Producer and Creator of Everyday Edisons: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Ideas, a television show on PBS that tracks 7 inventors selected from thousands of applicants as their inventions are taken from a sketch on a napkin to store shelves by an expert team of industrial designers, engineers, marketing experts and web designers. The goal of the show is to introduce viewers to the process of invention and to help them understand how to take their own ideas to the next level. Louis is also the owner of Inventor's Digest magazine, a highly respected, 20 year old publication aimed directly at inventors.

Louis is the Founder and Chief Exectutive of Enventys, a cutting-edge, integrated product design and engineering firm with offices in Charlotte, NC and Hong Kong. Enventys specializes in integrated, evolutionary product-development services and launches products deemed visionary as well as commercially successful. Enventys works with some of the nation’s largest companies, including Hasbro, Adidas, Bell South, Abbot, Tyco, Hanes Sara Lee.

Louis has been a life long entrepreneur and got his start by launching a business selling Lacrosse equipment from his college fraternity house during his sophomore year of college. He later launched his own line of NASCAR clothing and also formed a company that licensed a line of shin guards to Adidas and Nike that generated more than $2 million. He has since gone on to launch 5 successful start-ups and has been directly responsible for the creation of more than 10 others. A prolific inventor, he is the inventor of 9 registered US patents, and his firm Enventys is responsible for the development and filing of well over 150 more.

As one reporter from the Charlotte Business Journal noted, "[a]fter creating so many companies and shepherding so many products, Foreman knows the entrepreneur's heart. After all, it is his. For that reason, he views batting around ideas and proffering pro-bono advice as essential elements of Enventys." It is that desire to help the individual inventor that has motivated Louis to produce Everyday Edisons.
