Jon's Story
Life
After high school I joined the Navy for 4 years, traveling the world. I then went to numerous colleges, but didn't get a degree until much later in life. After working as a computer programmer for a number of years I now own a PC Gaming Center in Fontana, CA called NetFragz. It's funny... I remember being chosen by the school counselor to attend an entrepreneurial camp I believe my Junior year at Shawnee. I didn't even think she knew who I was, and here I am today... I don't see myself ever working for anyone else again. I could never find a job as fun as this, nor am I one who enjoys following social rules and traditions. I'm a creative free thinker with a strong sense for business.
College
Went to numerous colleges in California but never got a degree. CSUF, CSULB, Orange Coast Community College, Santa Rosa J...Expand for more
C, etc. Started majoring in Architecture until I realized I would be designing boring square homes for developers, so then I decided I would have to be a developer some day. So I started majoring in business/finance, but that was worthless. I knew more than the teachers. =\ Then I decided that certainly I could learn something in Computer Science, but classes were outdated, so I learned it on my own via books until getting a Bachelors much later online via UMUC.
Workplace
After the Navy I worked as a waiter and later accounting work while going to college. Then I did a lot of computer work developing MS Office VBA Macros, VB programs, Web development (ASP), computer trouble shooting, training, etc. Now I own my own CyberCafe/PC Gaming Center in Fontana, CA called NetFragz, and am now looking to do a major expansion.
