Back in 2004, Cahlan Sharp was planning on being a dentist. After working as an editor for online high school courses, however, he became fascinated with web technology. A year and a half later, he had taught himself the basics of web markup, Flash, PHP, and was working as a multimedia developer for a global non-profit organization. Cahlan has been building internet experiences since then, and is currently an entrepreneur and web engineer. He has taught various university classes and corporate workshops on web technologies.

Cahlan began a consulting company that placed fourth among student-run business in the state of Utah. He received his Master's degree in Instructional Psychology from Brigham Young University in 2010, and continues to build businesses as well as web products.

In late 2011, Cahlan joined Undrip, a social media technology company.

Cahlan is a married father of three and speaks Portuguese, Spanish and English.
