He returned from his mission and founded Crispy Cones in May of 2018 in a tent, proving that you can start a business from nothing and turn it into something amazing.
Jeremy and Kaitlyn met at the beginning of Crispy Cones' journey when he hired her to work for him as their social media manager. Kaitlyn is from Star Valley, Wyoming and graduated from BYU-Idaho with a bachelors in Public Relations. While in college, she ran a successful wedding photography business for 6 years which gave her experience that Jeremy wanted to have on his team.
The couple quickly became best friends which led to marriage in December of 2020. Since then, Jeremy and Kaitlyn have grown Crispy Cones to 7 locations across Idaho, Utah, and Arizona and have appeared on the hit television show, Shark Tank where they partnered with business icon, Barbara Corcoran!

Emily Peterson is the CEO and co-founder of Saranoni Luxury Blankets. Emily and her husband, Nathan, started Saranoni to make money to allow her daughter to have surgery to correct the miroctia – a congenital condition that caused her to be born without a fully developed outer ear. Emily and Nathan worked on their business as they were raising three small children. As they created gift baskets that included clothes, shoes, and jewelry, they realized that people loved the baby blankets the most!
As their company grew, they knew they wanted to give back to less fortunate families throughout the world. Through their social give-back initiative, Saranoni Cares, they have blessed many families in West Africa, Syria, and Cambodia.
In 2022, Nathan tragically passed away from stage 4 Gliboblastoma Mulitforme. Through this difficult time, Emily and her family have continued to grow the legacy of Saranoni. Emily echo’s Nathan’s passion for service and connection and is dedicated to growing Sara- noni. Her mission is to bring comfort, warmth, and connection to individuals and families.
