Jon Luzader joined the Army three months after
September 11, at age 17. He was enrolled at Penn State University, but
deferred college to serve what he felt was a higher calling. Jon was
deployed to Iraq in 2004 with the 1st Infantry Division, participating
in more than 150 combat support missions at the epicenter of the
costliest conflict the United States has seen in a generation. He was
overseas for over three years, making it home only a few times.
Jon
left his military service a more focused man. He then picked up where
he left off, earning a college degree in Information Sciences and
Technology. He went on to consult with government agencies on how to
build smarter software applications.
Ultimately,
Jon invented a system that scrambles messages, making it harder for
hackers and digital terrorists to access anything intelligible in
emails, browsers or private messages on social media. He also founded a
company called blink.cloud and, with
the aid of a veteran business startup accelerator called Bunker Labs,
was able to access professional networking resources that helped
transform blink.cloud into a viable business.
