CYB 54: John Davison, Navy Veteran, Co-Founder CodeUnion

John Davison is the Co-Founder of CodeUnion . CodeUnion trains anyone to “Become a Developer Without Putting Your Life on Hold.”

John served for 5 years as an officer in the United States Navy. After leaving active duty, he received an MBA and studied in China for a year. When John was unable to find a fulfilling job, he attended Dev Bootcamp and learned to code. This experience led to the founding of CodeUnion.

John has this advice for veterans after they leave active duty:

There is no roadmap. You need to build a roadmap and you have to be judicious about execution on that roadmap.
