Founder & CEO
Gravity Payments
Dan Price founded Gravity Payments when he was just 19 years old. His mission was–and is– to help hard-working small business owners stay competitive against larger corporations by making credit card processing transparent, fair, and easy. Today, nearly 20,000 independent businesses across all 50 states trust Gravity as their processor.
Dan captured national attention in 2015 when he decided to raise the company’s minimum salary to $70,000 a year. Although he’s been criticized for what some consider his radical policies on pay and equality, Dan believes businesses have enormous power to promote social good, regardless of what industry they’re in, by serving communities instead of shareholders and putting people over profits. His leadership has earned him many awards, most notably Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Entrepreneur of 2014” and the 2010 SBA “National Young Entrepreneur of the Year,” awarded to him by President Obama. He lives in Seattle with his rescue dog, Mikey.
DVM
Brentwood, MO
The Social DVM was created by Dr. Caitlin DeWilde in 2013. A veterinarian long interested in business, marketing and practice management, Dr. DeWilde saw the untapped potential of veterinarians to easily and affordably connect with their clients through social media. While many veterinarians and staff didn’t have the time, training or technology know-how to make this possible, Dr. DeWilde thrived on maximizing the efficiency and connectivity of her own and several other practices.
Dr. DeWilde holds her DVM degree from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, where she was the president of the Veterinary Business Management Association. Dr. DeWilde also holds a B.S. degree in Agribusiness and Animal Science from Southeast Missouri State University. She has served as President for the Greater St. Louis Veterinary Medical Association, and currently sits on the Missouri Veterinary Medical Foundation board. She is also an alum of the AVMA Future Leaders class of 2014-2015, made up of just ten national veterinarians chosen each year.
DVM, DACVD
Dermatology For Animals
After earning her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Washington State University in 2008, she moved to Tampa, Florida where she completed a challenging internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Florida Veterinary Specialists. During her internship she developed training in veterinary dermatology by spending extra rotations with board-certified veterinary dermatologists.
Dr. Miller began her residency in veterinary dermatology with Dermatology for Animals in 2009 and achieved board certification in November 2012. She practices at the Salt Lake City, Utah and Spokane, Washington clinics and loves being able to pursue her love of the outdoors activities in these beautiful states.
