Executive Bios
Todd A. Hills
Founder, President and CEO
Todd Hills is co-founder and CEO of online pawn shop Internet Pawn. In addition to guiding the company’s vision and strategic direction, he is responsible for its marketing, public relations and loan underwriting functions. Hills is a 25-year veteran of the pawn industry, beginning his career with U.S. Pawn as a loan officer before opening his first pawn shop in 1989. Hills held various executive-level management positions with U.S. Pawn, Inc. – a company which was ultimately acquired by Hills’ own pawn company, Jumping Jack Cash, in 2001. At its zenith, Jumping Jack Cash owned 20 pawn shops in Colorado and Utah, and Hills became known in the pawn industry as successful, forward-thinking operator. In 2007, Jumping Jack Cash sold its 15 Colorado pawn shops to an affiliate of EZCorp (NYSE: EZCP).
Since the sale, Hills has established several small businesses, including TopGun Motorsports, LLC, the region’s premier retailer of pre-owned Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and the Wide Open Saloon, Denver’s newest motorcycle-enthusiast gathering spot. Hills also serves as CEO of Jumping Jack Cash Utah, LLC, an owner-operator of six pawn shops in and around Salt Lake City.
