We've Been Helping People Move Their Couches For Over 17 Years
A 
Company
HireAHelper began in 2007 with just two people and one computer inside a tiny closet.
Our goal was simple: to create positive moving experiences. We wanted to make how moving companies interact with their customers way easier (and way better).
Realizing our goal took a team of superheroes who understood every single move is different, and so are the needs of every local moving business. Below are the people who have spent part of the last decade easing people's moving stress.
HireAHelper Heroes
Mike Glanz
CEO
The co-founder of HireAHelper out of college, Mike works every day to make moving easier for everybody. When he isn't running the company, his other passions include his family, improving his golf handicap, and raising up his self-proclaimed perfect garden.
Pete Johnson
COO
Beginning the company out of college in 2007, he has now overseen more than 350,000 professional moves. (And yes, he still often answers the phones.) In addition to his dream of improving the moving world, Pete currently has the best beard in the office.
Ryan Charles
Director of Sales and Marketing
Ryan has an impressive history of striking awesome moving company partnerships, entertaining the media with fun PR campaigns, and accumulating shiny awards for HireAHelper. He frequently uses strange acronyms nobody understands, other than, “Go USC! Go USC!”
Keri Miller
Corporate Operations Manager
Keri Miller leads the division of HireAHelper dedicated to helping companies, not individuals, so that they can do things like move their employees safely and happily. As the happiest person on the planet, she is extremely good at this job.
Nicholas Head
Senior Architect
Nicholas is frequently found in his office planning the next big improvements to our systems and making sure the website isn't imploding. Tinkering and engineering is part of his DNA. In his off-time, you can find him hosting company-wide movie nights at his house and playing video games.
Daniel Horning
SEO Guru
As the Marketing Swiss Army Knife for HireAHelper, Daniel probably knows how to Google better than you do. When he isn't studying algorithms from his home in Las Vegas, he is absolutely, 100%, and without a shadow of a doubt at Disneyland with his wife and four children (five, if you count him).
Alan Lopez
Managing Editor
Alan's job is to make everything HireAHelper puts out into the world look and sound great. If you are unhappy with the content of any page, please email him and he'll be happy to discuss it over a round of Mario Kart... but you have to beat him.
Matt McCollum
Director of Business Development
Are you in the moving industry? Catch Matt at all kinds of headquarters and conventions shaking hands while wearing a HireAHelper t-shirt. We told him he could wear a nice suit, but he says he looks better in green. (Hey, we agree!)

HireAHelper welcomes its first major partners to aid in our goal of making the moving industry better: PODS, 1-800-PACK-RAT, and today, Budget. What else are friends for?

2016
HireAHelper moves itself, this time into a state-of-the-art, shiny office space ... you know, the kind with big bouncy balls for chairs? That's not to mention an in-house call center that's racked up 44,470 jobs.

It's time to get out on the porch! HireAHelper is acquired by the leader in home repair services, Porch. We begin spreading positive moving experiences to more people than ever before, nearly doubling in reach overnight. HireAHelper moves its 250,000th customer!
Today
HireAHelper is now the best reviewed moving service provider on the internet. We have over 2,000 incredible moving companies signed on as part of our mover marketplace. Our headquarters spans two floors with over 60 in-house employees, and we've moved over 350,000 people who've all rated us an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars after more than 136,000 reviews. (Not bad for a start-up in a closet.)
If we want moving day to be fun, we've gotta lead by example.
Our in-house team made up of over 60 employees works 7 days a week to make moving easy and painless. And while we're at it, we also host a lot of bang-up company events, weekly sponsored lunches, and pull off more than a few office pranks. We're also proud that a portion of our time and revenue goes to charity work, including IJM.
