John Patton - Your Contact

John Patton was chosen as president. John brings ten years experience owning and operating a food manufacturing and distribution business, Rainbow Juices. That business was sold to Chiquita Banana and added to Naked Juice.

John's primary education was a bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry from Southern Illinois University. Upon his father's death in 1987, he passed ownership of Rainbow Juices to his brother so he could be the primary caregiver to his mother who had Alzheimer's. It was during these years that he learned database programming and developed forecasting systems, invoicing and warehouse management systems.

After his mother's death in 1996 he attended CU Boulder to refresh and hone math skills. While there he worked at CU's Helpdesk and BugBuster programs. Those responsibilities included managing security accounts, producing Web applications, debugging faculty and staff technical problems and scheduling on-site computer repairs. It was during this time that the technicians initiated the ideas that eventually lead to Web Media Engineering and website design.
