WHAT DO YOU DO?

I’ve had the great privilege and honor of leading two brands here in Utah over the past 20 years, Skullcandy and Traeger. I can’t imagine a better state to live in from a personal or professional standpoint. The sense of community is unique, and as a business leader I’ve enjoyed meeting many peers who are founders and CEOs and have become friends. I couldn’t be more grateful for this honor of being nominated to be in the Founder 100 and can’t wait to continue to build here in Utah with all of the other great founders!

WHAT DOES YOUR COMPANY DO?

Traeger Grills, based in Salt Lake City, pioneered the wood pellet grill, an all-natural hardwood cooking system. After 35 years, they expanded into griddles, offering versatile options for grilling, smoking, roasting, and more. Traeger grills are easy to use, catering to all skill levels, and are complemented by wood pellets, rubs, sauces, and accessories.
