Welcome to aaronwdejong.net. This blog is about me, Aaron DeJong, and my journey in life and IT. The journey is also about my ultimate goal of becoming a CIO, CISO, or CTO in the future. Working on certifications has allowed me to regain my focus and push through my walls of anxiety on the way to getting better.

I am currently Owner at Aaron W. DeJong, which is a sole proprietorship that is in Aurora, CO. Aaron W. DeJong is a content marketing firm. For my job experience, I have around 5 years of Systems Administrator experience and did around 11 months as a Network Administrator. The last IT job that I held was at Community College of Aurora back in 2014 and I have been getting better since then with my anxiety.

I have a B.S. in Computer Network Management and an A.A.S. in Computer Network Engineering. Both of these degrees are from Westwood College where I also completed the CCNA and CCNP programs through the Cisco Networking Academy.

Currently, I hold nine IT certifications including the CCNA, the CompTIA ITF+, A+, MS-900, AZ-900, Linux Essentials and the CCST Networking and CCST Cybersecurity certifications. I also have four sports coaching certifications that include the NFHS Coach Level 1, NFHS Middle School Coach Level 1, USA Football Youth Certification 2025 – Tackle, and the USA Wrestling Teal Certification.

I also work on my hobbies which include Reading, Lifelong Learning and IT skills like Programming, Computer Networking and Cybersecurity.
