Angela Cody-Rouget
Angela Cody-Rouget, aka Major Mom®, is the founder of Major Organizers®, a residential organizing company. Angela spent 14 years dedicated to serving her country in the US Air Force as a satellite operator and missile combat crew commander. She attained the rank of Major in the USAF and her husband nicknamed her Major Mom after their first child was born. After her son was born in 2005, she decided that military life and motherhood were not compatible for the kind of mom she dreamed of being. So, she resigned her commission to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom. Shortly afterwards, the Great Recession hit, and they lost all of their real estate holdings and closed their real appraisal business. Out of necessity, she started her organizing company in 2005 and soon discovered it was her calling. She brought on business partners in 2007 and began hiring employees, aka Liberators, in 2008. She has been building the Major Mom for 18 years. After her appearance on Shark Tank in 2016, she began franchising her concept. She has teams of Liberators in Colorado, Arizona, and Indiana. She had teams in Texas and Ohio, but those locations were shut down during the pandemic.
In 1992, at Indiana University, she was awarded Distinguished Graduate of Air Force ROTC and earned a BA in Speech Communication. On active duty, she went to night school and earned an MBA from the University of Colorado. She is a long-time member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) and Faithful Organizers (FO). She has served as the President of NAPO-Colorado and Executive Director for Faithful Organizers.
Angela is of German descent, and she exchanged salutes with a Frenchman in 2002. Like most women, she sometimes feels torn between kids and career, and the balancing act is difficult, but she’s thankful for a husband who is supportive. She moved with her family and the military over 37 times, so she knows how to keep her load light. Angela was born to create order out of chaos. She is on a mission to raise up an army of Liberators so she can restore order to the world, one household at a time!
