More about Devan
I am a husband and proud father of three cute little kids. I grew up in Northern Utah, and have lived in South Ogden with my family for the past 7 years. I love skiing, mountain biking, fishing, and pickleball. Since buying our home 5 years ago I feel like I have slowly learned how to be an electrician, plumber, drywall installer, and more; as we have done some major home renovations. 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 and improve products based on needs I discover as I meet with customers. My goal is to help as many students as I can learn the principles of entrepreneurship and prepare them for a bright future!
