Arin Crumley

Starting at the age of 6 Arin Crumley began inventing things such as electric fishing poles and went on to build, go karts, model rockets and eventually even room additions all before entering high school. His passion for making brought him to the arts and he’s received much acclaim for his film work. That also brought him elbow to elbow with CEO’s of major companies working with them on their media and messaging content. Through this experience he’s seen up close how some of the largest corporations in the world operate and has been their guide to provide media work while also receiving their guidance. Arin's also lead teams to create cinema playback devices for indie film theaters, online social media platforms for collecting theatrical demand for indie films and produced multiple award winning indie films that have been screened at premiere events such as SXSW and in Park City Utah. One of the films he self financed, produced and directed got him nominated for two Spirit Awards. As a lifelong self learner the most intuitive way he gathers information is going directly to the source. So for one of his previous businesses of building and selling custom electric skateboards he moved to China where he could endlessly explore the supply chain of all things electric, renewable, fabrication and manufacturing. He’s driven by an unwavering commitment to address the climate crisis. One of the reasons it personally impacted him is the neighborhood where he used to live when in High School burned to the ground in 2017. And every year since then the fires have caused evacuations and various friends and family to lose homes and have compromised health due to all of the smoke. His personal goal is to solve the climate crisis and put an end to the bizarre “fire seasons” that was never a thing as he was growing up. By doing this he believes it is possible to preserve the world we know and love while also ensuring a safe earth for many generations to come.
