Profile
Born in California and raised in Utah, Missouri and Tennessee I went on to live in Hawaii, then joined the Air Force and saw a chunk of the world. I grew up loving and living in the outdoors and I continue that passion today with my family. In my youth I worked on ranches and began breaking horses when I was 14, today I live on a small 2 1/2 acre farm where we have an acre garden and raise about 40 animals including horses, a Llama, sheep, goats, chickens and rabbits. I am the oldest of 7 kids, my Mother comes from a family of 9 kids. I currently have 8 and we’re not declaring ourselves done yet.
When I was young I was heavily exposed to computers and began learning QBasic. By the time I was 12 I was writing my own programs. When I joined the Air Force at 19 I became an Information Specialist and began refining my programming skills. After the military I attended College studying Computer Science and Business. I soon began working as a Business Analyst and Software Engineer. Over the years I became an expert at analyzing a business’ processes and creating solutions for them, then I would write the software to implement that solution. Along the way I started The Gatherers (General Automation Technology, Human Error Removal, E-Commerce Resolutions Specialists) and worked independently as a contractor. This continued for 6 years until Paul Allen offered me a position as the COO for his Internet Incubator, Provo Labs. After Provo Labs was realigned to a holding company, I started my own venture, 42Co.
I am currently the CEO of 42Co where we are building an awesome new product called TagJungle.
