Jack Ogilvie

Jack has been an avid member of the climbing community for 15+ years. In his 20 year professional career, Jack founded the digital marketing agency Techwood in 2009 - which he sold 100% to the employees as an ESOP in 2018. The company was then fully acquired by a mid-market agency in 2021.  Jack led growth at this mid-market agency for three years before exiting and co-founding Shift with Jonathan in 2024.  

Outside of Shift, Jack lives in West Michigan with his wife and three kids, is involved in a small handful of other business ventures, and tracks drums for Engedi Music.  Jack's tick list of favorite climbs includes Bear Creek Spire in the eastern Sierra Nevada; Cathedral Peak in Tuolumne;  some fun multi-pitch out East in Linville Gorge, NC (The Mummy, The Daddy, The Prow); as well as some good, simple scrambles such as the Eastern Ridge of Mt. Russel, the Huntington Ravine up Mt. Washington, or the Cathedrals / Knife Edge (in that order) route up Katahdin.
