More about Devan
I am a husband and proud father of two cute little kids. I grew up in Northern Utah, and have lived in Ogden for the past 5 years. I have really enjoyed the skiing, mountain biking, fishing, and hiking that this area has to offer. I have also grown to love the hardworking and down-to-earth people that all work so hard to improve our community. Since buying our home three years ago I feel like I have slowly become an electrician, plumber, concrete worker, drywall installer, and more; as we have done some major remodeling. More formally, I have a bachelor's degree in Marketing from Utah State University and a Masters Degree in Business Administration from The Quantic School of Business and Technology. I work full time as a Product Marketing Manager at a local company, where I help develop new consumer centric products and help people discover which products best suit their needs. My goal is to help as many students as I can to learn the principles of entrepreneurship and see first hand the benefits of business ownership.
