Co-Founder
Greater Salt Lake City Area
In 2004, I embarked on an entrepreneurial adventure by founding Mac Utah, LLC and launching an Apple Specialist retail store in Orem, Utah, called MacSomething. Within just nine months, I recognized the potential for growth and strategically partnered with Spring Retail Group to create Simply Mac, Inc.By 2014, our team had successfully expanded Simply Mac to 24 stores. At this point, we decided it was the right time to exit the business, which led to an acquisition by GameStop. I continued to work with the company for a year post-acquisition, ensuring a smooth transition and contributing to its ongoing growth.One aspect of Simply Mac that I hold close to my heart is the company culture. My personal mission to make the world a better place aligns perfectly with the company's values. We created job opportunities that contributed to our community, and our exceptional employees were the backbone of our success. Our mission statement, "to enhance the lives of those in our communities through simplified technology and personal interaction," was deeply ingrained in every team member. Ultimately, our goal was to ensure each customer left our store better than when they arrived.As I reflect on my journey with Simply Mac, I am grateful for the incredible experiences, challenges, and opportunities for growth that have shaped my career. Moving forward, my passion for entrepreneurship remains strong, and I am eager to apply the skills and insights gained during my time at Simply Mac to build new businesses across various industries. I am excited to connect with like-minded professionals on LinkedIn who share a passion for entrepreneurship, growth, and making a positive impact. Let's explore new opportunities together and continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, transcending industry boundaries and driving innovation.
