Jon Gardner, the founder of Kairos Network Services, has lived in the Bryan/College Station area since 1985, when he entered Texas A&M University as a freshman, graduating in 1991 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. Originally from Arlington, Texas, Jon is comfortable in the big city but prefers the slower pace and family atmosphere of this area, especially since his 1995 marriage to the most beautiful woman in the world, and the birth of their son in 1998.

Philosophy on Business

"... I've been comforted this week thinking of our Lord's thirty silent years of readying Himself at home with His family and bending over a carpenter's bench. Were those days any less of a fragrance to God than His later work before the eyes of the people? I think not. A well-made piece of furniture and a healed blind man represented the same thing to the Father - a job well done; mission accomplished. So with us here. Nothing great, but what is that to Him who knows no great or small?"

- Jim Elliot (from a journal entry while he was on the mission field in Ecuador, from the book, "Shadow of the Almighty" by his wife, Elizabeth Elliot.)
