A 2007 graduate of Loyola Marymount University, John Madden has spent his post college career immersed in the world of the internet. In the fall 2004, he surrendered to peer pressure and became one of the early adopters of Facebook and credits Google for nurturing his love of research. After serving over 3 years helping build highly innovative WooMe.com, he helped launch the ChowNow Facebook app. In January 2012, John began working for Kingston Technlogy where he executes Marketing strategies through Social Media. When he's not glued to a computer screen, you can find Mr. Madden fostering his love of sports, music, and movies. He is an avid blogger, jogger and snowboarder and can give you a run for your money in a game of baseball, basketball, football or hockey.
