Quinn Jones’s Summary

To summarize my experiences and goals...my goals are to be a great friend, father to my children and learn as much as I can in life. I have a long standing passion and talent for technology stemming from my addiction to gaming in the late 70's (Battle Zone, Defender, Joust), to programming in High School (AP Computer Classes and College Classes in HS) to my professional career as a Software Developer, Engineer, Team Leader, Business Owner, Executive IT Officer, DBA, Project Manager, Instructor (Physics/Astronomy University Level), Research Assistant, Physics Graduate Student.

I love life, live it without fear and hope to spread as much success and joy to my family and friends before my time is up.
