About

About Me

Dallas native. Builder.
Family man. Thrill seeker.

From day one, I’ve been someone who moves between worlds, connects the dots others miss, and finds opportunity where most see obstacles. I studied Mechanical Engineering at San Jose State, but my real passion has always lived at the intersection of people, ideas, and execution.

Faith anchors everything for me. As a believer in Jesus Christ, it shapes how I lead, how I build, and how I show up for the people I love. Outside of work, you’ll find me fishing, hooping, hitting the gym, jumping out of planes, or investing in real estate. I’ve never been good at sitting still.

My greatest achievement isn’t a company or a deal. It’s my family. I’m married to my beautiful wife Bobbie, the life of every room she walks into. She enjoys music, dance, and bringing people together through experiences that leave a lasting impression. We tied the knot on 2/2/22 and haven’t slowed down since. Together we’re raising three incredible kids: Aiyana, our 11-year-old dancer, soccer player, and lemonade entrepreneur behind Drink Sky’s the Lemon; Aasir, our 2-year-old Spider-Man obsessed, sign-language-speaking force of nature; and Claude Perry III, 21, who keeps the whole family grounded. I’m also the proud older brother of Spencer Cowley, a police officer serving the North Richland Hills, TX community.

Dallas born, Bay Area raised. Proud fan of the Oakland A’s ⚾, Golden State Warriors 🏀, and San Francisco 49ers 🏈.

I Got Laid Off So I Built An App Nobody Wanted

The moment Aiyana was born, everything changed. Then I got laid off — and instead of going back to a cubicle, I started building. Part 1 of 3: The Skool Years.

Shutting down Skool didn’t end the journey — it started a new one. The pivot that changed everything.
