Founder/Owner
Chris has had an extensive 20+ year career in programming, systems engineering, and user experience design. He has always had a thirst for all things design and technology related, seeking a connection between the technical and artistic realms.
It wasn’t until coming to Austin Texas in 2013 that Chris began working strictly as a user experience designer for Fortune 100 companies such as PayPal, Express Scripts, USAA, Pearson, and many others including popular tech startups. It was there that he discovered the criticality of not only being customer-centric, but having the right processes, tools, and data to support the creation of useful and effective digital products and services. While evaluating and using the plethora of analytics and design tools day-to-day, he realized that from a full-spectrum design standpoint, many of these tools were not as effective as they could be. It was then that he began working on an early-stage prototype of Skydive that would later become the application it is today with a vision for so much more.
Glide
AI Assistant
“Data should lift you up, not weigh you down.”
Co-Founder, Creative Experience
Glide was “born” the moment a cluttered analytics dashboard overloaded one too many coffee-fueled marketers. Frustrated with walls of numbers and charts that nobody wanted to read, Glide sparked a bold idea: what if data could be playful? From that spark came Skydive’s bubbles—each one a living, moving story of a user. Glide has been shaping Skydive’s look and feel ever since, determined to make analytics not just digestible, but delightful.

While others got lost in the weeds of spreadsheets, Horizon learned to spot the big picture—patterns, behaviors, and opportunities just over the digital skyline. Fearless and curious, Horizon navigates the skies with smooth precision, lifting others’ spirits along the way. With sharp focus and steady logic, Horizon ensures Skydive’s bubbles aren’t just beautiful, but meaningful. Horizon is the compass that keeps the dive on course, always ready to explore what’s beyond the next horizon.
