Senior Support Engineer, DCAT, A+

Jon’s interest in computers began at a very young age. Though originally attracted by games, he became increasingly comfortable maneuvering his way around software in general. As years passed and through regular use of computers, he began to grow more interested in the technology itself.

As a young teen, he began researching and building his own computers. In later years he knew he wanted to pursue working in the IT field and proceeded to get his Associate of Science degree as a Microcomputer Specialist from Springfield Technical Community College. During that time, he worked with various individuals in the area repairing systems, as well as working as a subcontractor for a local IT consultant. He then earned his CompTIA A+ certification for computer technicians before joining the team at Ichthys.
