Ari Sohn, Founder

A proud alum of Rockland Community and Baruch Colleges, Ari quickly made the most of his two year stint in healthcare digital marketing back in 2015. Yet nothing quite seemed to satisfy his desire to leave a bigger footprint. On a leap of faith, Ari left his promising corporate ladder climb in New York City during the summer of 2017 to embark on an 11 month adventure in a non-profit startup in Medellin, Colombia. Upon his return, Ari stumbled across a community’s unique cemetery mapping project and immediately jumped at the opportunity to get involved. After digitizing, restoring, and cleaning over 15,000 graves, Ari solidified a deep and innate drive to preserve the past on a global scale. Ari combined his technological acumen and non-profit experiences across diverse communities to start a company built on the belief that every community has its own unique history to remember, story to tell, and legacy to protect.
