  • Loop
    Co-Founder and Chief Hype Officer
    Loop
    Aug 2025 - Current (1 year 3 months)
    Loop is my wife Megan’s custom magnet shop, and she’s the real genius behind it. I’m here as the full-time cheerleader, late-night design critic, unofficial quality inspector, and occasional idea guy.

    We take your favorite memories and turn them into 2x2 custom photo magnets. Meg handles all the creative magic. I mostly clap loudly, lift heavy boxes, and brag about her on LinkedIn.

    If you want to check out her work or pick up some magnets for stocking stuffers, grandparent gifts, or your own fridge, here’s the shop:
