Michael Turpin

Devoted husband, Loving father of two and Entrepreneur/Inventor.

Michael is a United States Marine Corps Combat Veteran who honorably served from January 2001 until July 2010. Throughout his military career, he completed two combat tours in various foreign theaters as part of significant American Military Campaigns, including Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Operation Bastille, Operation Northern Delay, Operation Clean Sweep, and Operation Checkmate. 

His service officially concluded on July 3, 2010, a date that coincided with a personal milestone: his wedding to Kelly Turpin, with whom he continues to share a loving and supportive marriage.
 

Like many combat Veterans, Michael initially resisted seeking counseling to address the trauma he encountered during his overseas deployments. He is a devoted family man, living with his wife and their two children, Bradley and Emma. 

In 2016, after years of developmental challenges, Bradley was diagnosed with Autism. This diagnosis marked the beginning of Michael's transformative journey of self-discovery and healing.
 

A pivotal moment in Michael's life occurred in December 2016, when he found himself contemplating succumbing to his emotional struggles.


In a heartfelt and life-affirming moment, his non-verbal, autistic son Bradley approached him and expressed his love.

The Birth of Bed Buddy

That simple moment hit Michael like a lightning bolt - it wasn’t just powerful, it was life-changing. It reignited a fire in him to fight through the darkness and rise, not for himself, but for the people who mattered most.
 

At the heart of it all was his son, lovingly called his “Little Buddy”, the one who unknowingly became his lifeline, his reason to keep going.
 

Eight years later, that love, that struggle, and that redemption story gave birth to something bigger: Bed Buddy - a symbol of strength, purpose, and second chances.
