JACKIE O’HARA | Founder & Managing Partner, the “J” in Jet

A business degree from Colorado State University set Jackie up for a successful career in marketing. It has come full circle from her first job at an agency the day she graduated to starting her own in 2009.  If she isn’t in the office or traveling to see clients, you might catch her watching or playinggolf, or cheering on her beloved Rams at Canvas Stadium or Moby Arena. She and her husband, Tim, are proud parents of Newberg, a 3-year-old English yellow lab, two daughters and two granddogs.

Favorite Place to Travel: Colorado is her native home and a great place to base travels from.  Two recent trips to Exuma in the Bahamas with family make it an official favorite place.  Second favorite seems to be wherever the Rams travel.

Dream in Life: Don’t ask her if she is retiring anytime soon, as there are so many more things to accomplish.  Living on 10 acres means an endless list of chores, but it's rewarding to watch things grow and have a sense of space. Finding more time to breathe and actually finishing a cup of coffee before it gets cold are short-term dreams.

3 Things You May Not Know:

1. She used to ride a dirt bike (motorcycle)
2. She treasures her “real” cowboy boots
3. She can still recite the Norwegian finger-naming rhyme her grandfather taught her when she was little

ERIN ROGERS | Creative Director

Erin grew up thinking she would be a surfer one day, but that is a hard dream to fulfill when you are living in the midwest. She never really considered herself brave, but reflecting on the time she ventured solo across the country to settle on the West Coast at the age of 21, she is very proud of that young woman! Today you’ll find her carting her two boys to their baseball games, then, with any luck, relaxing with a glass of wine afterward.

Favorite Place to Travel: Anywhere that is warm and has a beach.

Dream in Life: She’d love to go to Greece and just travel more in general. She finds other cultures to be so fascinating and would love to see more!

3 Things You May Not Know:

1. Her cousin nicknamed her Vern

2. She's lived on the East Coast, West Coast, Rocky Mountains, and the Midwest.

3. She firmly believes that weekends are made for patios and adult beverages

JENN UMLAND | Communications & Operations Director

Jenn credits her parents for her love of music, dating back to the early days of George Strait, Eagles, and Styx. Her passion for sports she owes to the Colorado Silver Bullets. In her free time, you might catch Jenn at a game, country concert or Colorado must-see destination with her husband, two daughters and Jack Russell terrier, Chester, in the family’s Sprinter van.

Favorite Place to Travel: There is so much she hasn't seen in Colorado, so exploring our state is always first on the travel itinerary. She also likes to follow her favorite artists and sports teams around the United States and attend the concerts and events in different venues and arenas.

Dream in Life: Jenn believes her purpose on this earth is to spread love and kindness. Her life's aspiration is to achieve this goal through raising her two beautiful daughters and fostering meaningful relationships.

Lindsey Hanson | Digital Marketing Manager

Lindsey can get down to business but is always up for a good laugh! She loves catching local comedy shows, and while she herself has a knack for comedy, she prefers to leave it up to the professionals. However, some of the best material she hears comes from her two silly kids, who always remind her to work hard but play hard too.

Favorite Place to Travel: Look for her at her family cabin, nestled in Minnesota's lake country. Her home away from home, the cabin is where she's spent every summer of her life soaking up the sun and water and luxuriating in time spent with family and friends.

Dream in Life: Lindsey's greatest aspiration is to create a nurturing and secure childhood for her children, and a home they'll always want to return to.

1. She's lived abroad in both Spain and Costa Rica, which has not only enriched her life but also honed her Spanish skills, which she still gets to use at work sometimes!
2. Beyond language, she's also dabbled in music, playing the saxophone for several years.
3. And, you might be surprised to learn that she's been an extra in a few TV shows!

Karla Oceanak | Copywriter

Karla is mountains over beaches, home-cooked over haute cuisine, books over movies (which is saying something, because she loves movies, especially goofy comedies). She can also play a mean game of Words with Friends.

Favorite Place to Travel: While she loves traveling anywhere, her most frequent getaway is to her family's cabin in the northern Colorado mountains. It’s so peaceful and beautiful there.

Dream in Life: Karla and her husband are planning to renovate an old house, and after it’s finished, they hope to create a lovely cottage garden there.

Newberg | Office Dog

A Colorado native, Newberg is part of the Jet team most days.  After a morning greeting and a few belly rubs, she settles into her favorite napping spots, only to be reenergized when the Fed Ex truck arrives, with a delivery.

Favorite Place to Travel: She loves to go for car rides, wherever those take her, and she loves to run in the pastures that surround the office.

Dream in Life: Uh duh – the next BarkBox of course.  She recognizes when the monthly shipment arrives and she’ll do almost anything to see what the contents include.

3 Things You May Not Know:

1. Snuggling is her favorite pasttime
2. She loves mealtimes, every day at 6, noon, and 5
3. She loves a good stick and the soft stuffed toys
