About Bri Larson

Well, I’m a mom to 3 boys: Barrett, Joel and (new to the crew as of December 2024!) Levi. I married my husband, Josh, in 2015. We also have two dogs, Luna Marie (Great Pyrenees mix) and Sonny aka Sunshine (Golden Retriever). Our home is in Clive, IA.

I work for Hy-Vee in the IT space as a senior project manager. I’ve been with the company since 2021. I get to help out on a variety of projects in the web and mobile space. Before this job, I worked in digital project/people management at Strategic America helping clients redesign their websites and organize large website programs. I’m motivated to work with kind, smart and creative people, and am always ready for that next challenge.

Josh and I founded Barkpass in 2019. We saw a great opportunity to improve the dog park registration and pet licensing processes for our local community and thought, “Why not build a better software for the job?” Then other cities and organizations caught wind and our client base grew! Fast forward 5 years, we had an opportunity open up to sell the software. Knowing our family was growing and the limited time Josh and I had to dedicate to the business, we decided this was the right direction for the future of Barkpass. After I had Levi, we sold the software to Steve Zeidman. Steve has hired a team to help propel Barkpass and take it to the next level. While this was a bittersweet decision, I’m excited to see it grow and continue to help communities manage pets!

I’m always running out my own clock and television is my little oasis from it all. Shows like The Office, Parks and Rec, Portlandia and Will & Grace are some of my long-time favorites. I like finding a great new show to watch and sharing the good word with fellow TV lovers.

I’d describe myself as a comedy enthusiast and love attending a good improv show. I even have a couple characters up my sleeve for when the occasion is just right!

I like to be healthy. From eating well (or attempting to eat well) to yoga and working out. I’m always trying to fix my chronically aching lower back. And leg. And foot. Ice pack anyone?

Lastly, I love dogs. I love learning about dog breeds and their histories. I’ll rarely miss a daily walk with my pups. And believe you me, I tell them, “I love you, you’re amazing, you’re so beautiful” 5,000 times a day.
