Our History

In 2001 a senior in Economics at University of Pennsylvania conceived of and began BACtrack at a time when breathalyzers were only for law enforcement, and used only when it was too late. Keith Nothacker drove to California with a plan: change how the world drinks by showing them the numbers. He focused exclusively on breathalyzers and created consistent, reliable, technologically-advanced products to build BACtrack into a trusted brand now sold in 25 countries.
