About Kayne

I am the founder and owner of Graxon Logistics and acquired United Transportation in May of 2025. Since the acquisition, I have remained the full-time operator and CEO with a focus on building a high-performing culture and developing new services for our freight forwarder customers. We have expanded into additional markets and continue to evaluate build vs. buy opportunities for rapid growth. In addition to running United Transportation, I have created new entities within the Graxon portfolio — including Graxon Freight and Graxon Technologies — with the goal of building differentiated services and technology that support United Transportation and future acquisitions.

Before acquiring United Transportation, I served as CEO and Board Member of Uptake, a Chicago-based analytics company focused on asset health serving the military and transportation sectors. In addition, I held various senior executive roles with KAR (now OPENLANE), the acquirer of DRIVIN, a company I co-founded and served as CEO until April 2017. Over the last two decades, I have held various senior executive roles within Apartments.com, Cars.com, Allstate, eToys.com, TUSC, and Burlington Coat.

Finally, I am a father of three, husband, board member, active angel investor, mentor, and extremely active in finding a cure for Type-1 diabetes.

Finally, Finally, I love golf.
