The Team
Jennifer Richey - Co-Founder, Gravity Jack
Jennifer has spent over 20 years in tech, co-founding and scaling multiple startups. After entering the industry in 2002, she co-founded Tometa Software and served as CFO through its acquisition in 2007, then held the same role at the aquiring gaming company. In 2009, she co-founded Gravity Jack, a pioneer in mobile AR, VR, and gaming.
Originally from Southern California, she now lives in the Pacific Northwest. She’s a mother of four, grandmother of three, triathlete, sport bike rider, skydiver, and extreme athlete. But her most profound transformation came in March 2019, when she encountered Jesus in a life altering way. He pulled her out of the mud and placed her on solid ground; she surrendered to the Lord’s pursuit and began a radical journey of healing and relationship with the Father.
Luke Richey - Co-Founder, Gravity Jack
Luke began coding at 14, including work for NASA, and went on to create several successful startups – among them the first internet news site with a newspaper and OpenEye, later sold to Alarm.com. After selling his last company to a gaming firm in 2007, he and his wife Jen founded Gravity Jack, pioneering mobile-based augmented reality with a strong patent portfolio, research team, and they helped create top tier games like Pokemon Go, Double Down Casino, and many others that have made billions for their clients.
In 2019, after a radical encounter with Jesus that saved him from suicide, Luke surrendered his life, business, and family to God. His transformation led to the restoration of his marriage and a renewed mission. Now 51, he’s a father, grandfather, skydiver, cage fighter, and snowboarder. He sees Gravity Jack and their game WarTribe as a sheep in wolves’ clothing—built to reach the lost through gaming. He sees Gravity Jack and their current game, WarTribe of Binyamin, as a sheep in wolves’ clothing – designed from the start to infiltrate enemy territory and spread the Gospel through gaming.
