Jon Mires

Like Tom, Matt, and Mike, Jon is yet another East Coaster – apparently, the fear of cold brings them together. He grew up in New Hampshire, and as a die-hard Celtics fan in the Bird/McHale/Parish era, he once cut out every Celtics article appearing in the Boston Globe for an entire year and hung them on the wall of his bedroom.

Jon also made his way to the Golden State for college, earning a BA in Psychology at Stanford. There, his illustrious collegiate sports career consisted of playing on the women’s basketball team practice squad, a brief stint on the club table tennis team, and possibly the shortest tenure ever as a cross country walk-on (it can be measured in hours). Jon later picked up a Master’s degree in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from George Mason, so when he’s not doing technical work, he's deftly diffusing any escalating tensions that arise from internal discussions about Boston pizza.

At some point during a college reunion pickup basketball game (fun fact: Jon's vertical leap is off the charts), Tom was surprised to learn that Jon had shifted from his fuzzy academic training to become a front-end developer. It was great news indeed. After a few years of freelance work for TR, Jon came on board as a full-time web developer, and today he also helps keep the TR ship in the order in a variety of ways.
