Founder | CEO at Luminous | Changing Software for Ecommerce

Passionate about all things supply chain, e-commerce, and operations. Helping companies transform their operations through better supply chain data. 

A bit about me: I started my first e-commerce company when I was 23. Back then, it was selling baby gates and barn door hardware across a couple Etsy shops and on Amazon. While continuing to grow my e-commerce business on the side I got a job as a sourcing manager at a distribution company to learn more about high level supply chain with major retailers (HSN, QVC, Walmart, etc.). 

Years later, after helping countless DTC brand optimize their supply chain through running Made-in-China's sourcing division, I noticed major issues in the way e-commerce companies used software in operations. I built and sold an RFQ management system that helped DTC brands optimize their purchasing.  Then, I moved on and became a CEO of a DTC brand at 28. My experience running Qualtry showed even more the gap in the market of software solutions in e-commerce that address the entire supply chain.

Luminous is helping e-commerce companies gain visibility in their data from source to sell. If you're not happy with your software (inventory management, purchasing, RFQ, WMS) then talk to me.

Director of Sales and Operations

Costco Wholesale

I am currently responsible for all hiring, safety training, and hazmat compliance. I ensure that all scheduling for the warehouse is complete and efficient. I also balance warehouse budgets and focus on manager and supervisor development.

Administration Manager

As a merchandise manager, I was in charge of all the sales at the warehouse. An important factor in having successful sales is product placement. Each day, I made plans as to where each product would provide the most revenue. I led a team of 4 managers, 2 supervisors, and 85 employees. With their help, we were able to strategically place $15 million in product at any given time. 
Another major responsibility of mine was to help my employees develop their careers, to highlight their strengths, and encourage growth in areas needed. I did this through annual reports for each individual employee. 
I also led the process of interviewing and hiring. Though this, I was able to ensure I had a team of employees that were dedicated and capable.

McDonald's

As an Assistant General Manager, I played a crucial role in running the day to day decisions of the business. I had the opportunity to work at one of the busiest McDonalds in the Mid-west, pushing 200+ cars through drive-through in an hour, and grossing over $5 million a year. In this role, I participated in hiring, reviews, scheduling, budgets, orders, and developing others in their careers.

Assistant General Manager

My name is Mike Every.  I have over 18 years of experience in leadership/management.  I started as an assistant manager for McDonald's and then switched to Costco Wholesale, where I held multiple leadership positions in marketing, merchandising, and administration.  Currently, I work for Paul Mitchell the School.  I cover schools in Idaho, Utah, and Washington.  While working for the Paul Mitchell Schools, I also work with FilmLaab!  I love the start-up challenge and the team I work with there!  
I love what I do and do it well.  I am easy to talk with, always looking for ways to improve, and willing to do what it takes to get the job done.
