Tyler Cophenhaver-Heath is out to change the world, one person, one small business at a time. A serial entrepreneur with an MBA behind his name and the scientific know-how of a biochemistry undergrad, he has a deep understanding of systems and the way things work. With the sale last year of his flagship startup, APEX Customs, which went from a one man garage to a multi-million dollar company with forty employees in under ten years, he's now poised for something greater. For Copenaver-Heath, success isn't about the money. It's about the transformative change small businesses can bring to the lives of individuals and the communities in which they live and work. An avid believer in personal connections and the value of role models in the lives of at-risk youth, he spends his free time encouraging students to stay in school, to find their worth and to dream big. In his latest startup, Glaive, Cophenhaver-Heath seeks to align his business acumen with his servant's heart. This year, look to him to harness all of his talents – hard-knock experience, charisma, grit, tenacity and confidence – to lead and inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs. By investing in people, he's investing in what he calls collateral impact: a ripple effect of financial stability, job creation and community development, all brought on by the success of small businesses. His passion is people. His skills are abundant. His success, is proven. If he can do it, so can others. And he's ready to help them achieve their dreams. One of the ways he helps with this is through his blog at TylerUriah.com, and his podcast Bully This- A Hero's Journey
