You may have landed on my site for a number of reasons.
Some of my site visitors were looking for the W.B
Jones Spring Company Spring Company (no relation).
Maybe we share a hobby in common or perhaps you are a friend or
family member. Whatever your reason, thank you for visiting.
A bit about me. After all, I pay for this website and it only seems
fair. My name is WB Jones and I live in a suburb of Denver, Colorado.
I am a 3rd generation native to Colorado. My background is in Information
Technology where I am considered a "generalist". I am
versatile and can work as a programmer, network engineer, hardware
tech, web designer, graphic artist, and many other roles. In other
words, I don't really fit into a single category.
I've worked for some big organizations such as US West, Qwest,
Nextel, Information Handling Systems, and the Federal Bureau of
Reclamation. I've worked for some tiny companies like Vertical Marketing
and Custom Sign and Graphics. I've owned my own company, too.
Currently, I am the I.T. System Coordinator for the Douglas County
Clerk and Recorder. What is a system coordinator? It's a mixture
of being a system analyst, business analyst, and a project manager.
Probably the most exciting part of my current job is that I manage
the Electronic Voting Equipment for the county.
It's a volatile time in the Elections business around the country,
but especially in Colorado. Electronic voting is a very young technology
and has many people applauding it as well as criticizing it. As
the primary authority for the voting system in Douglas County, I
manage the data of the election from creating the ballot to counting
and tabulating votes. I have seen the system from the inside and
am a big believer that it is a vast improvement over paper ballots.
I am married with two dogs - a 4 year old chocolate lab and a 7
year old beagle. I am an avid motorcyclist, a home brewer, a woodworker,
I practice a number of martial arts disciplines, I love to cook
(but hate the cleaning up part), enjoy camping and hiking, host
Texas Hold 'Em nights for my friends.
2009 is my 20 year High School Reunion.
I have accomplished and done almost everything I've wanted to at
this point in my life, and I've had some great adventures along
the way. It's been one of those right place/right time things in
a lot of cases. I would say that I've had an interesting life so
far.
I've worked in law enforcement, I've written articles for a monthly
magazine, I've owned my own company and helped others to found and
build theirs, I have taught college classes, I have met with foreign
dignitaries and local politicians, I accidentally had drinks with
the Colorado Rockies, I found refuge from a rainstorm in a golf
cart with Arnold Palmer, I used to work out with Mr. Colorado, I
played a round of pool with then-Denver Bronco Vance Johnson, I
gave an anti-smoking presentation with the great grandson of R.J
Reynolds, I've been on the T.V. and Radio.
What's next...? I hope the adventure never ends.
