I’m an entrepreneur currently exploring the worlds of technology, faith, and philosophy. I graduated from Brigham Young University in 2008 and Harvard Business School in 2015.

I'm the co-founder of AI startup Jump, and sit on the board of the non-profit Faith Matters Foundation and co-host its podcast.

I have a background in design and software engineering, and had way too much fun designing and building this website by hand, using Figma and Remix. Its code is open source and available on Github.

Recent work

Jump logo
2023–present

Jump is an AI copilot for sales teams. It's meant to automate the 75% of the day that sales reps spend on non-selling activities and give sales leaders much greater insight into their team's performance.

Along with a great team, I co-founded the company in early 2023.

Education

Harvard Business School logo
Class of 2015

I spent a couple of really formative years earning an MBA at Harvard Business School in Boston, graduating with distinction in 2015.

The people I met were diverse, brilliant, and dedicated to creating a better world. Many became lifelong friends.

I will always be grateful to HBS helping me launch my entrepreneurial career and introducing me to people who would be pivotal in my journey.

Brigham Young University logo
Class of 2008

I graduated BYU's David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies in 2008, graduating summa cum laude and as class valedictorian.

I have a deep love for BYU and continue to associate closely with many great people there through my work at Faith Matters.
