Entrepreneur Leadership Series: Sawyer Hemsley

Originally from Preston, Idaho, Sawyer Hemsley moved to Logan, Utah in 2012 to attend Utah State University. Sawyer has always loved working with people and came from a family that not only loves cookies, but is known for eating them warm right from the oven every Sunday. Sawyer’s passion for people and cookies led to the beginning of Crumbl Cookies in 2017. A year later he earned his bachelor’s degree at USU in communication studies with minors in marketing and multimedia development. Crumbl started as a family-owned business, co-founded by Sawyer, and his cousin, Jason McGowan, as part of a quest to sell the perfect chocolate chip cookie. The first location was opened in Logan, Utah five years ago, and the business has grown to more than 650 locations throughout the U.S. with more than 10,000 employees.
