About Javon

2006

I sold gum at school for 25 cents a piece until I could afford my first cell phone. Throughout my grade school career, I also did homework, fixed bicycles, and spray-painted skateboards for money.

2011

I got a job at a local service station as an automotive technician. Mostly rotating tires and changing oil, but occasionally taking on larger jobs like engine and transmission changes.

2012

I graduated from high school and joined the Air Force within the same year. Six months later, I was a fully certified aircraft mechanic.

2017

I purchased my first investment property, a duplex in the less desirable part of Tucson. I lived on one side and rented out the other to save as much as possible. I also did renovations while living there, and moved into the less desirable side as soon as renovations were complete.

2019

My enlistment ended, and I started working as an Aircraft Maintenance contractor until pandemic-related layoffs got to me.

2020

This is the year I discovered I didn’t have to work anymore. During this same year, I was contacted by an old friend who was starting a cybersecurity business but was having trouble getting customers. I suggested pivoting towards coding bootcamps and made a few other suggestions regarding marketing.

Within 3 months, his primary issue went from not having enough students to needing more instructors. He started bragging to other people about what I had done for him, and thus, I started helping small businesses around Tucson with their marketing efforts.

2022

I started taking marketing services seriously. This is the year I officially got certifications in ux/ui design, data analytics, and digital marketing. I also officially started the LLC (JDB Media) and started recruiting talent for my team. This would be my primary focus for the next 3 years.

2025

After running the marketing agency for some time, I discovered that the original thrill and fulfillment I received from helping others had faded. I also received a word from God to “create more” as well as to “let the clients go”.

Since receiving that word, I let go of all employees and retainers, and have been working as a freelance web designer/consultant while traveling the globe.
