About our founder

I was born in Michigan to parents who worked at Ford Motor Company. As a kid, I programmed for the military. In fact, I got my clearance at 16 at the Air Force, before I ever got a girlfriend.

I went to business school at Wharton, but I spent all my time coding AI - on track to do a PhD. But then I got an offer to join Palantir.

At Palantir, I helped build some of their first commercialized Large Language Models (LLMs). More importantly, I met some amazing people who inspired me to found Endeavor.

In Silicon Valley, most tech companies sell to each other. But I grew up in the Midwest, and we think about AI differently at Endeavor. Our mission is to help enterprises outside Silicon Valley make AI useful.
