LBI LIFE

What's Happening / Events / the Official App for Long Beach Island

Join the fun!
After being on the right side of a corporate M&A in 2011 I found myself asking how I can best use my 15 years of corporate technology experience to serve my community. From an old table in my laundry room, I started our first app, My LBI Life, the Official LBI App in 2012, creating a highly cost-effective mobile solution for local small businesses, non-profits and most importantly for everyone who loves LBI. In 2017, we relocated our operation from a tiny room in Ship Bottom to our new mobile headquarters in Stafford Township, New Jersey.

Milestones
2011 - Our soft launch and tag line "What's Happening around LBI", started the fun in October 2011!

2012 - Our famous truck, "The App Mobile" was born in 2012!

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, our app played a major role in saving the St. Francis Center Food Pantry. One of our app fans, who owns a trucking company, read about the crisis and answered the call for help. The trucking company donated storage trailers, ultimately saving massive amounts of much needed food and supplies at the St. Francis Center. This is the very reason why we bootstrapped our business, to bring our community together, no politics, no egos, just good old fashion hard work helping our community and loving what we do. A humbling moment we are very proud of! 

2013 - Our fans declared us the #1 LBI Community Website and the Official LBI App!

2014 - A local community advocate for Long Beach Island, we campaigned and raised $10,000 for the non-profit organization, ReClam the Bay and their affiliated non-profit organization, Passport to LBI.

2015 - We pleasantly surprised the LBI Region and our fans by launching our small business spotlight feature videos and the Official "What's Happening" Weekly Summer video series! That's right, we are awesome!

2016 - Our fans did it again! Over 25,000 Facebook Fans and counting! Thank You! We Love You Too!!

2016/17 - Our community support continued when we were asked to join the Stafford Chamber of Commerce. Our community advocacy volunteer work raised over $30,000 for the non-profit organization, Stafford Chamber of Commerce.

2019 - It’s been an amazing ride, but it’s time to say farewell. My LBI Life mobile app was discontinued on February 24th, 2019.

To our mobile app users — you have been fun, inspiring, and supportive. We have always been a goal focused team, always striving for what's most important to us personally, supporting the community while enjoying a work life balance.
