While attending his last semester of college for computer science at UF, John was hired by Bit-Wizards.

John’s interest in computers and technology began at a young age when his father brought home an Amiga 500. John spent countless hours experimenting with Amiga Basic and trying to defeat copy protection schemes on his friend’s game disks. Being a military brat, John lived in many places including the Philippines but has been living in Florida since high school and considers it home. John is a huge Gators fan, having attended both the University of Florida in Gainesville and the University of West Florida where he received a BS in Computer Science.
