From Classroom Chessboards to Building Digital Solutions
In 2014, John State and Kevin Herman, longtime friends, founded their high school chess club, sparking a shared passion for strategy, problem-solving, and innovative thinking. Their collaboration in those early days laid the foundation for a lifelong partnership. After graduation, their paths diverged yet remained complementary: John State pursued a career as a serial entrepreneur, launching and growing multiple businesses, while Kevin Herman immersed himself in advanced civil engineering studies and mastered AI systems, using his technical expertise to develop innovative software solutions. Together, their combined experience in business, technology, and strategic thinking ultimately led to the creation of Hest Partners.
