Bryan L. Welton, Jr. grew up in Lake Almanor, CA with his parents and three siblings. He had diverse interests such as music and football, but his favorite memories were the times he spent backpacking with his family. Bryan was an extremely gifted student; he graduated from high school at the age of 16 and enrolled at Brigham Young University on a full academic scholarship. He deferred his education in 1996 in order to serve an LDS mission in Peru. Upon returning, Bryan completed his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and International Law, with a minor in Spanish. He went on to earn his MBA in eBusiness and Internet Marketing from the University of Phoenix in 2004.
Bryan and his wife, Jenny, have five beautiful children ages 6 and under. They love engaging their kids in learning activities, family projects, and service opportunities. They flourish their forever courtship with weekly date nights, which they haven’t missed in years. A significant portion of Bryan’s time is devoted to church and community service as a bishop in the LDS church. When he is not tending to family or church duties, he enjoys studying up on current affairs, political theory, new medical developments, and tax law.
Bryan exemplifies every quality of a true entrepreneur. He is currently serving on the Boards of four different companies that he founded personally. His model for Namifiers revolutionized the ID product industry by simply building a fully functional web store that could serve customers worldwide. He then pushed the standard out of reach by changing the manufacturing mentality to a “Same-Day” model and getting the finished product into the customer’s hands 5x faster than ever before. In six short years that Namifiers has been in business, Bryan has grown company revenues by over 1500%. He was honored as the 2007 Reed Smoot Businessman of the Year, a finalist for the 2007 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and he is responsible for Namifiers being selected as the 15th fastest growing company in Utah, as well as the 39th fastest growing private company for Business Services in America.

Christopher R. Jensen was born in the small community of Gunnison, Utah and lived in nearby Centerfield until the age of 19. He was a talented football and baseball player at Gunnison High, where Chris’s classmates rated him as the loudest among all students. After graduation, Chris decided to pursue higher education in Cabinet Technology and Finishing at Utah Valley State College. He interrupted his studies to serve an LDS mission in St. Louis, Missouri. Chris enjoys camping, hunting, and snowmobiling with his family. And although he is a very secure and confident leader, he openly shares his distaste for carnivals and snakes, deeming both to be scary. Chris has been with Namifiers since its founding in 2001 as The Nametag Source. His expansive involvement in the company’s growth has led his current responsibilities as Chief Operations Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice Chair of the Namifiers Board of Directors. His early commitment led to commanding performances in every aspect and department of the business. From 2002 -2005, Chris managed a sales force that grew the company by 750%. He proactively learned the ins and outs of production, graphic design, equipment maintenance and supply chain models. He was quickly appointed to the position of Chief Operations Officer. In 2005, Chris successfully implemented a companywide changeover of knowledge management systems that integrated all facets of business operation. His invaluable purchasing experience in the five short years with the company afforded him the promotion of overseeing all company finances in 2006. In 2007, Chris assisted CEO Bryan Welton Jr. in the seamless acquisition of the 30-year-old engraving company, Engraving Etc. Chris currently manages the responsibilities of both Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Sean M. Fitzgerald was raised in Modesto, California. After serving an LDS mission in Belo Horizonte, Brazil he moved to Provo, UT in 2001 to study at Brigham Young University. In 2005, Sean came on board with Namifiers amid a wonderfully stressful growth period. His tenacity for completing projects won him the respect of colleagues and CEO, Bryan Welton Jr., who appointed him to be the Vice President of Operations. At the time, the business needed fresh eyes and talent to manage the production of an unprecedented influx of orders, and Sean proved to be exactly the right man for the job. He developed an outstanding curiosity and grasp of his area by exploring every software program, piece of machinery, and bit of inventory that the company owned. As his production team grew, Sean entrenched himself in progressing the company’s manufacturing systems and techniques. Sean has been heavily involved in launching new services for Vinyl Signs, Promotional Swag, Campaign Buttons and Signs, and Embroidery. He champions the “Same-Day” mentality and has tripled Namifiers production capacity in the last 2 years.Continue reading “Interview with Sean Fitzgerald VP of Operations” »
