About
My name is Jordon and I am a web developer from Texas. I have been working on the web for over nine years. This is my personal website. The purpose of this site is for me to track my endeavors into all manner of technical concepts as well as for others to get a perspective on my technical experience. Hopefully regular updates are to come.
You can find me around the web in other places too, here are some of them.

Books on my read list...
I needed a place to write down the books I want to read in the near future, so I figured I would share it to the world.
