Jon Zobrist
IT/DevOps Director/Developer
I’m a DevOps/IT guy. I live in West Jordan, UT with my wonderful wife and 3 children. I love technology. Currently I am the IT Directory @inthinc.com and am coding in Bash/Perl/Python to manage our infrastructure on the Amazon Web Services cloud. I've been in IT since 1996. I've run my own ISP, been a Network Engineer, IT Manager, IT Director, and jack of all trades. I'm excited and intrigued about migrating IT into DevOps.
