Meet Our CEO & Founder: Blake
Hi, everyone! It’s time to formally introduce you to the brains behind this operation.
Blake Moeller has a knack for entrepreneurship. His creativity, intelligence, and drive have gotten him where he is today. Moeller grew up in Vernonia, Oregon, then went on to study Business and Entrepreneurship at Western Oregon University.
As a fresh college graduate, Blake accepted a job with Liberty Mutual Insurance before becoming a partner at Blue Pacific Logistics and later starting his own Life & Business coaching company, Moellerlbc. His latest venture is the creation of Leaped.
“I started this company because I wanted to find a way to give a voice to every educator out there. I wanted to give them a platform that would allow them to share their passion with the world - someone’s passion should not be limited to a single classroom,” said Blake on why he founded Leaped.
Blake came up with the idea for Leaped when thinking about where he grew up. Vernonia, OR is a very small town with small schools. When reflecting on the amazing teachers he had growing up, Blake started to think about how much those teachers loved what they did, but they probably were only able to teach around 50 or 60 students the entire year.
“Why not create something that will allow teachers like them, or anyone to share their passion with the world? We all know teachers deserve more and I thought it was our time to finally create a platform that will give educators, of all types, a chance at more,” says Blake.
As our CEO, Blake oversees all operations within the company and keeps everyone motivated to keep making progress and moving forward. His extensive knowledge and passion for business allows him to constantly innovate within various industries. With that being said, Leaped was founded to innovate virtual education, so that teachers are no longer limited to the four walls of a classroom.
Here at Leaped, we are lucky to have such a passionate leader that truly cares about our mission and goals.
Get to know more about Blake with these 5 fun facts:
If you’re looking for him in the fall, Blake is probably in Eugene, OR cheering on the Oregon Ducks at football games. If he’s not watching football, he’s either reading or spending time with friends or family.
Blake’s favorite book is Shoe Dog by Phil Knight.
Blake’s dad made up a song about him when he was a baby called “Baby Blue” and that is why his favorite color is blue.
Blake’s favorite movie is The Count of Monte Cristo.
If Blake had to choose his last meal, he would want a medium rare steak paired with a bottle of red wine.
We look forward to being a part of your continued success, Blake!
