We Make Awesome Photography Easy

Our mission is to make awesome photography easy, by making tools that get out of the way of being more creative.

We believe photographers can better improve their craft when technology is no longer a mental barrier to feeling, seeing, and expressing. Photography comes from the heart, and behind every magical photograph is a perfect symphony where art and technology become one.

The Birth of Magmod.
Our Kickstarter History.

In April 2013, Spencer Boerup woke up one morning (after shooting a long wedding) with an idea of gelling flashes instantaneously. After a lot of blood, sweat, and tears (and money!), Spencer began prototyping his ideas for MagMod. After multiple rounds of tweaks and tests, he launched MagMod (with the MagGrip, MagGel, and MagGrid) on Kickstarter to raise funding for mass development.

MagMod reached its $35,000 Kickstarter funding goal in less than 5 hours, and completely obliterated this goal by raising over $210,000 in 30 days. MagMod was officially born, and ever since then we’ve been developing new products and expanding the company.

On our one-year anniversary in October 2014, we returned to Kickstarter to launch the MagSphere, MagBounce, and MagSnoot. Again, photographers responded in droves and helped us raise over $310,000 in 30 days with enthusiastic fans in over 90 different countries. Since 2013, MagMod is widely accepted by photographers worldwide as the fastest, easiest, simplest, and strongest speedlite modifier system ever created.

President

Spencer invented MagMod after a long and successful career as a wedding and portrait photographer in Tucson, AZ. His brain is swimming with awesome ideas that we can’t wait to bring to life. While he’s passionate about photography, his favorite role is at home as a husband and father to two adorable daughters. A serious car enthusiast, Spencer loves spontaneous road trips. And Mario Kart. He also enjoys serving others in his community and church.

Sales & Marketing Director

Cindy is the QUEEN of sales and marketing.
Travis

Travis

Global Distribution Manager

As B2B Sales Director, Travis manages relationships with MagMod’s distributors. He’s got mad people skillz, and if we had a Team MagMod yearbook, Travis would win every vote including “biggest kid in the group,” “easiest to scare,” and “most likely to convince an invading alien army to call off an attack.” He enjoys spending time with his family, especially as a youth basketball coach (Go, NYS Tucson Tar Heels!). He’s also an accomplished wedding and portrait photographer with hundreds of shoots under his belt.
Ari

Ari

Human Resources Director

Ari is, officially, our Human Resources Director. But a better title would probably be “Master Planner, Organizer & All-Around Wonder Woman.” The multi-talented Mrs. Crosby handles everything from screening job applicants to employee benefits. There is literally nothing she can’t do, which is why we entrust her with basically everything. When she’s not working her magic at MagMod, you can find her being a loving Mom to two kiddos and singing Aretha Franklin under the table.
Trevor

Trevor

Fulfillment/Sourcing Specialist

Trevor is our walking Swiss Army Knife, he manages supply chain, logistics, sourcing and looks at a ton of data. His Excel spreadsheet wizardry is unmatched. Fun Fact: Trev is partially color-blind. But that doesn’t stop him from being a wicked talented photographer who’s run a successful wedding photography business for years. Trevor and his wife, Ari, have two adorable golden-haired children who resemble Shirley Temple.
JJ

JJ

Product Launch Manager

JJ manages, coordinates and oversees the process of bringing all of MagMod's new and exciting products to market. A former full-time Youtuber, he’s the dude behind a lot of the early MagMod videos. Ask him about his job, and he’ll say “MagMod is the best place to work, EVER!” You know he means it since he has the distinction of having held the most job titles of any team member since joining the company. In the past, JJ worked as a wedding videographer and with Travis as a second-shooter. He’s also a doting dad, loving husband and Elder Scrolls fanatic. If MagMod was a boy band, JJ would be Justin Timberlake.
Trevor Dayley

Trevor Dayley

MagMod Genius

Trevor Dayley is our MagMod Genius. (Yes, that’s his legit title.) If you want to learn how to control, shape and color your light with MagMod modifiers, he’s your guy! Having shot over 300 weddings, he has a wee bit of experience and loves sharing it with others. Trevor and his wife have six beautiful kiddos, and they dig traveling together. Once they did a month long, cross-country road trip in a minivan and not only survived, but loved every minute of the adventure. #SquadGoals.
Timothy

Timothy

Product Development Team Leader

Timothy leads our Product Development Team, focusing his brain juices on the creation of awesome new magnetic, modular gear. In the past, he’s also been part of our order fulfillment and marketing teams. Timothy loves photographing weddings and high school seniors, which he still actively does in Arizona, Colorado and Nebraska. He’s also passionate about Bitcoin. And trains. And his wife and three kids. We can always count on him to make us laugh our faces off.
Kendle

Kendle

Customer Success Hero

Kendle is our Customer Success Superhero, and—as her title implies—she’s pretty awesome at it. She loves making people happy and hopes she can leave everyone with a smile. A Tucson native, Kendle assisted Spencer for years on photo shoots, is the world’s best aunt and holds a degree in Fine Arts. She has an incredible talent and a budding business as a cake artist. Seriously, she could be on a TV show for this and would win everything. (Hey, Food Network: have your people call our people!)
Adrian

Adrian

Bookkeeper

Adrian is our Bookkeeper and has a degree in Business Management from Northern Arizona University. A Tucson native, Adrian went to Sabino High School (with Spencer!) and loves serving in her church community. At home, she rocks an embroidery machine like a boss, and her bomb dot com pillows now grace the couches at MagMod HQ. She and her husband have three adorable kiddos. She loves being a mom and really loves going to Disneyland with (or without) her kids!
Tim

Tim

eCommerce Manager

Tim is our intrepid eCommerce Manager and Web Developer. He’s a former Army Ranger who used to jump out of airplanes, so managing our website, sales data and automated marketing systems is no big thang to him. In a former life, Tim also worked in finance and owned a music store. Thus, he loves guitars and vintage amps. He also loves his wife and two boys. We’ll give you $5 if you can make him laugh.
JD

JD

Creative Content Producer

JD slays as MagMod’s photographer and videographer. When he’s not crisscrossing the country to shoot our videos (or at his desk glued to Adobe Premiere), you can find him whipping up advertisements, signage and other visual marketing material for the Growth Team. Outside of work, JD keeps busy with outdoor adventures and his photography business. He shoots weddings, portraits, and is public safety photographer.
Aaron

Aaron

Fulfillment Manager

Aaron manages Order Fulfillment. He knows how much inventory we have at any given point, and he also knows exactly where your order is and how long it will take to get to you. Our resident Apple Genius, Aaron’s knowledge of the company from Cupertino and all of its devices is unmatched. Thus, he is our unofficial IT guy, too. Aaron is a newlywed, a new homeowner, and he’s about to be a new dad (Welcome to the Club!). He’s also a master drummer, and could probably slay the solo from YYZ. He used to have the finest beard in the office until Timothy got all mountain man on us.
Julia

Julia

Social Media Manager

Julia is MagMod’s Social Media Manager. If you’ve ever reached out to us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, then you’ve likely had the pleasure of chatting with her. A Renaissance woman who combines expertise from an MBA degree with experience in film & TV production (Jerry! Jerry!), non-profit and business marketing, she’s a strategic thinker and master communicator. Julia keeps us all on our toes with brain-twisting “Would You Rather Wednesday” questions and truly lives her best life every dang day. You should be jelly you don’t have a Julia on your team.
Chris

Chris

Marketing Content Producer & Copyrighter

Chris does double duty as our Copywriter and Marketing Content Producer. She enjoys managing email, blog and video content and gets her jollies slipping Lord of the Rings and Parliament Funkadelic references into MagMod’s sales copy. Chris single-handedly keeps Chick-fil-A in business, and is rarely ever seen without a diet lemonade in hand. The only thing she adores more than crispy chicken nuggets and Jason Statham movies is her family. Chris loves her husband, daughter and Great Dane with a fierceness . . . even though one of them is probably at home right now eating socks.
Scott

Scott

Distribution Support Manager

Scott supports MagMod’s retailers, managing accounts and helping train sales reps. He and our Wholesale Director, Travis, are a formidable team with people skills for days. (They are so in sync we sometimes refer to them as Travis Scott. This is highly amusing to the hip hop fans among us.) Years of experience in the hospitality industry have clearly only strengthened Scott’s naturally friendly ‘tude. He once worked at Disney World as a performer on a ride involving movie sets, costumes and explosions. We’ve seen the video evidence, and none of us are shocked that he fit right in at the Happiest Place on Earth. Scott’s creativity and kindness are what make him an awesome wedding photographer (He’s been voted “Best of Tucson!”). He’s also a loving husband and father.
Joe

Joe

Supply Chain Manager

Joe is our Supply Chain Manager, burning the midnight oil to make sure we have lots of magnets to make awesome photography easy. Fueled by coffee and hardcore punk, he's working with suppliers day and night to ensure we have plenty of the good stuff. When not at work, you'll find him out riding one of his many bikes, or backpacking the mountains around Tucson along with his best girl. But don't let all of this tough stuff fool you. He's a softie in the paws of his 6lb cat, Mina.
Ben

Ben

Director of Special Projects

Every company needs a special ops team; Ben is ours. As Director of Special Projects, he swoops in to save the day when technical wizardry is needed. An unabashed outlier, our left-handed, blue-eyed, Linux-loving, Android-toting, collared-shirt wearing, non-photographer vegetarian avoids video games but does enjoy spending time with his family, reading, hiking, playing board games, giving service, and tinkering with all things tech.
Esteban

Esteban

Office Assistant

Esteban is our office assistant who is always willing to assist and get the job done. A recent University of Arizona graduate (GO CATS) he earned a B.A. in Communications. In his free time, Esteban can be found listening to podcasts, making music and spending time with friends. Esteban is also a foodie who enjoys local eateries and international cuisine.
Lawson

Lawson

Tradeshow Manager

Lawson drives MagMod’s presence at events around the world. With a natural inquisitiveness about the world beyond his doors, he has traveled to 11 countries and counting. For Lawson, the world as an epic playground full of new friends. Born in the early 80’s he has a unique grasp on both the analog and virtual worlds. Evidence to this fact, you will often see him taking notes on his iPad while simultaneously using no less than three different colors of sticky notes. Lawson deeply loves his wife, three kids, and Juniper (his Holland Lop Rabbit). He is also an intense tinkerer, chronic cut-off jean short sporter, Goodwill shopper, and overall connoisseur of perfect cortados (coffee is for chumps.)
