I’ve always been curious—constantly asking “what if” and “why not.” That curiosity led me to Extended Reality (XR) technology back in high school, and it sparked a passion that’s driven me ever since. Fast forward a few years, and while juggling college at the University of Minnesota, I co-founded Xyro. What started as a small venture focused on learning modules has evolved into something far bigger—creating immersive XR labs for universities and developing advanced training solutions for the HVAC industry and beyond.As the Co-Founder and CEO of Xyro, I’m not just building a company; I’m working to change the way people experience their work. My aim is simple: to provide professionals with the best tools and environments so they can perform at their best. This isn’t just about adopting new tech; it’s about reshaping how we think about training and efficiency, especially in industries where precision and expertise are critical.We’ve hit some great milestones along the way. Xyro has been recognized at the BETA MN startup showcase, and we’ve formed strategic partnerships that are helping us grow. But what really matters to me is the culture we’re creating—a place where curiosity and creativity aren’t just encouraged, they’re essential. It’s about building a team that’s as passionate about innovation as I am and creating solutions that truly make a difference.At the end of the day, I’m all about pushing boundaries. I believe in constantly questioning the status quo, breaking the mold, and exploring new possibilities. Because if we’re not challenging ourselves and our industries, we’re not moving forward—and that’s what drives me every day.
