John Peebles was born and raised in China with his family as missionaries. At the age of twelve he encountered his first computer, and in China where there is not much to do, he became an intense gamer. He found his love for computers early in life and learned how networking and servers operated by constructing a multi-house Lan. He later was accepted to Taylor University where he majored in Computer Science. Due to his Fluent Chinese and computer background he was able to acquire sixteen free credits before his freshman year. He was not a fan of academics and found himself struggling for grades and barely managed a 2.0 at graduation. After graduation he developed a software consulting company called Cerebral Tech with his friend in which he grew to 128000 within a few month. Due to the risk involved John wanted a more stable environment for his company and decided to move to Florida and develop Sentry Data Systems, which specialized in pharmaceutical software. He now has about twenty employees and a great reputation.
He shared some tips that separated his company from the rest. Due to the high level of software his company developed customer support was essential. Sentry Data Systems developed a technique where the developers would actually run the customer support for their specific program. This means you are getting the best help because its from the creator of the software and this motivates the programmer to make a solid program as to not have to fix things latter. The company also only hires the top programmers as to separate them from the competition. Some employees even work from their home. This is possible by the rapid communication software the company uses which includes an online phone system, a chat program, and soon a video client. Sentry Data System truly is a cutting edge company.
