BIO
While studying Mechanical Engineering at BYU, I started an e-commerce sandal company called J-Slips Hawaii which I scaled to $1M+ in revenue in 2 years. I turned it over to my family to run so I could pursue a career in tech. I taught myself how to code and became a software engineer working at extremely fast growing tech companies, first Qualtrics and then Route, before co-founding Hona.
