Jalem Michael Getz

I founded BUYSEASONS, Inc. in 1999 and served as its President and CEO until I retired to pursue other opportunities in December, 2010. BUYSEASONS is the largest retailer and supplier of costumes and party supplies on the Internet. Prior to starting BUYSEASONS in 1999, I co-founded specialty retail company GMI in 1995 at age 22. During my tenure, GMI became one of Wisconsin’s fastest growing companies, and the largest seasonal retailer in Milwaukee, before I sold my interest to my business partner Jon Majdoch in 2000. GMI is still in business and successful today, a testament to our commitment to building self-sustaining organizations.

BUYSEASONS, Inc. was acquired by Liberty Media in August 2006 and In 2008 we acquired our largest competitor Celebrate Express Inc.
