Property Inspections Elevated
Loveland Innovations is a team of makers and mavericks building leaner, meaner ways to turn roof and property data into clarity and action. No corporate nonsense, just get-it-done attitude. We make it easy for anyone to digitize a property or structure, then explore, measure, and analyze it with artificial intelligence.
Why We’re Here
We’re innovators. To us, innovation isn’t just about technology. It’s about powering revolution. It’s about arming the people who build, learn, and find new ways of doing. Innovation isn’t a buzzword in a corporate handbook – it’s a devotion to the idea that community, hard work, and pure ingenuity are the true mothers of invention.
Dead Simple Solutions
We create tools that offer a clearer view of the world, so you can understand it in new ways.
Insights for Action
We blend A.I. analytics, and human ingenuity to power insights and action.
Better Perspectives
We give fresh perspectives because we believe you can make the world better if you can just see the world better.

Our Leadership Team
Jim has a long history of spotting opportunity, seizing it, and building a business around it by bringing the right people and technologies together.
As President of Verisk Insurance Solutions within Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ:VRSK), Jim led over 2,500 employees in all aspects of Verisk’s property and casualty business. He was part of the leadership team that took Verisk public in the largest domestic IPO of 2009, raising over $2.1 billion.
For over 10 years as President & CEO of Xactware, Inc., Jim drove the company to market dominance in the US and Canada and to market expansion in Europe and Australia, yielding tenfold growth in revenue. Today, 22 of the top 25 U.S. property insurance companies and all of the top 10 Canadian insurers use Xactware property claims tools exclusively.
Jim founded Aces Athletics, a one of a kind elite athletics training center and sports facility, and served as Chairman of the Board for the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, building and opening its 90,000 square foot facility now in Draper, Utah. During just it’s first year of operations in the new Draper location, the living planet aquarium saw a tremendous outpouring of community support with well over 1 million visitors passing through its doors.
He continues to serve on the board of the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium as well as the advisory board for NuEra Solar, the Athletic Leadership Council for Brigham Young University, and the National Advisory Board for the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business.

Darren has been working in the Business Finance world for the past 20 years. After an internship at a local CPA firm and some time at Huntsman Packaging in Salt Lake City, UT, Darren spent the last 16 years of his career with Xactware, moving from a finance clerk to overseeing the finance division as VP of Finance.
Darren has also enjoyed helping local companies and organizations with their Finance needs. He is the CFO of Aces Athletics, a premier fitness and training facility in Lehi, UT and is a board member of a 501C3 charity The Institute for Self Reliant Agriculture.
Darren obtained his MBA from Utah State University and his CPA license from the State of Utah. He is a member of the Utah Association of Certified Public Accountants and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
When not crunching the numbers, Darren loves spending time with his wife and four kids, mostly in the outdoors. Some of the activities they enjoy include gardening, water skiing, mountain biking, fishing, snow skiing, snowmobiling, and more recently dirt bikes and snow bikes.
