Entrepreneurship: Working Outside the Proverbial Box
Find out how some UA alums translated their entrepreneurial zeal into a rewarding career and get insight into how you might do so too at our Unusual Entrepreneurs Career Panel & Networking Event. This creative group of panelists includes tech experts, a chalkboard artist, creators of hand-crafted bottle openers made from 50 caliber ammunition, owners of a residential food waste start up, owners of an ice cream delivered via environmentally-friendly truck business and a Tech Launch Arizona Ambassador.
Whether you are just considering an entrepreneurial career, or are absolutely certain this creative career path is your destiny, you should check out this Panel and Networking Event on Wednesday, February 11th, 5:30 pm to 7 pm in the Catalina Meeting Room on the 3rd floor of the Student Union Memorial Center. Panelists will share information on their own career paths, trends and critical skills students should hone.
A networking session following the panel will offer students and alumni an opportunity to connect directly with the panelists. Students and alumni can look forward to meeting:
Jen (’05, Public Administration) and Eli Crane, are owners of Bottle Breacher, a Tucson company that sells handcrafted bottle openers made from 50 caliber ammunition. Eli is a former Navy SEAL turned entrepreneur, and Jen has had a passion for business ever since graduating from the UA Eller College of Management in 2005. Bottle Breacher began in a 1-car garage while Eli was Active Duty in San Diego. They partnered with Mark Cuban and Kevin O’Leary on ABC's Shark Tank this past November.
Ashley White (’09, Higher Education) is a commissioned artist and artisan living in downtown Tucson. After completing a Masters program in Higher Education, Ashley advised UA students in the Honors College, but left the university in 2013 to fulfill her dream of starting her own artistic services business. Now Ashley spends most of her days on ladders painting chalkboard menus, signs, portraits and anything else people want her to draw!
Shannon Sartin (’09, Italian) is the owner of Scraps on Scraps, a small business offering residential food waste pick up to the Tucson area. Shannon is also Vice President of Federal Operations for AudioEye, a Tucson-based technology company that offers a cloud-based accessibility solution for website owners and publishers.
Eric Smith (’12, Business Management and Entrepreneurship) sold his company of 5 years, Revolution Entertainment, after graduating from the UA, and took a position as Business Development Manager for Aztera, a Tucson tech development and engineering company. Recently, he became ambassador for a partnership between Aztera, the City of Tucson, and UA's Tech Launch Arizona, representing the city in commercialization efforts at UA and building a network of industry experts who consult on University technologies as they prepare to enter the market.
Dominic ('98) and Kristel (’00) Johnson are owners of Isabella’s Ice Cream. Isabella’s Ice Cream is sold in grocery stores and restaurants, and the original way – from a truck! Isabella’s Ice Cream is dedicated to socially and environmentally responsible practices, and their ice cream trucks are made from recycled material and are 100% electric.
William Kovacs is the former co-owner of Prep & Pastry, a popular Tucson breakfast restaurant. He's also served in a lead marketing role in a variety of Tucson businesses, and has an extensive design portfolio. Active in the downtown economic and regional development scene, William is a Tech Launch Arizona Ambassador, focusing on connecting student inventors and entrepreneurs to startup and tech growth programs and activities within Tucson and the University of Arizona.
