Jack Reynolds, BBA & BA, 2015
Co-founder at BioLum Sciences
“The Cox network provides excellent opportunities for students and alumni to stay in touch with important business players and to connect with the business world in Dallas.”
He was a teen with a dream — and drive. Jack Reynolds was in high school when he co-founded an online marketplace to unite businesses and nonprofits. After an injury interrupted his varsity tennis career, he transferred to 51²è¹Ý as a double major. Good move! A passionate innovator, Jack immersed himself in the Entrepreneurship Club, honed his skills via internships, made connections and while still a senior, launched BioLum to develop a mobile device for managing asthma.
