My adventure started years ago while playing music in the Canadian indie rock band, Behind Sapphire. During the decade I spent in the band, I served as the band's manager, chief songwriter, and a performer. The band sold thousands of records, had songs played on national radio stations and popular TV shows, toured across Canada, the United States and China, and performed for Ellen DeGeneres. The highlight of the decade was when a young girl came up to me and told me that one of our songs saved her life.
I left the band to serve as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Denver, Colorado for two years. On the mission, I learned incredible life lessons by serving many people and leading other missionaries. I learned my life’s mission is to bless the lives of other people and change the world.
Upon returning home, I got accepted to Brigham Young University in the Marriott School of Business and married my sweetheart. During my schooling, I accepted a position at Bear Butt in finance & operations, which grew into overseeing the company's entire operation. Over those two and a half years, I learned the ins and outs of running a business and growing a consumer product company. I moved on to create my own consumer products company, and then exited shortly after with a sale, and a 3PL for small business owners, which I also exited with a sale.
In 2019, I founded Server. Server's mission was to make the restaurant experience better for everyone. With exiting Server, I was brought on to Table Needs — an independent QSR focused restaurant operating system — to lead their sales strategy and team. Through my efforts in bringing on new partners and growing the sales team, we took the company from $0 to a 7 figure valuation and a 40% MoM growth rate. I am now tasked with revenue generation for Table Needs.
