More from Jeff


 


Jeff Byers is the co-founder and CEO of Amp Human-- a human
performance company and venture-backed startup based in Park
City, Utah.  They work with the world's best athletes and
teams, including Super Bowl and Stanley Cup Champions, and Tour
de France winners. In addition, Amp Human has assembled one of
the best scientific advisory boards in the industry to help push
innovation and research forward.  Their flagship product, PR
Lotion, gives the body more bicarb (a natural electrolyte) to
neutralize lactic acid in muscles which allows athletes to push
harder, feel better, and go longer.


 


Prior to starting Amp Human, Jeff was an early member of a
biotech company for 3 years, which inspired him to build Amp
Human. At the biotech he and his co-founder saw an opportunity
within the biotech to leverage its technology outside of medicine
and in the human performance space and establish themselves at
the forefront of human performance.


 


Before his business career, Jeff attended the University of
Southern California, where he was a 2-time captain and a multiple
year starter for their championship football team. While playing
he graduated with his undergraduate degree in 3 years and
proceeded to earn his masters in business administration before
entering the NFL.  He had a 4 year career in the NFL, mostly
for the Carolina Panthers, serving as a backup but also starting
a handful of games
