About Jon

Founder of Scorch VR – a location-based virtual reality venue featuring immersive free-roam escape rooms and action-packed multiplayer arena games. My primary focus is on growth strategies, scaling operations, and building the premier brand in the location-based VR entertainment industry.

Prior to diving into the virtual realm, I spent over 20 years as a full-stack software engineer and tech leader designing and building scalable systems, high-performance applications, and analytical data pipelines. My expertise spans cloud architecture, data engineering, software development, automation, and business strategy. I thrive at solving complex technical challenges, driving innovation, and delivering impactful solutions.

My passions outside of business and tech include cooking, guitar, hiking, tennis, and Wado karate.
