Meet The Team

Q

Aloha everyone!

My name is John McQuown. People really do just call me Q though. I’m 34 years old from Hawaii and I’m currently serving in the United States Coast Guard. What I do for my day job is I’m basically the money man. I handle a 1.2mil budget for my unit and there is a lot that, that entails. I won’t get too much into that. I’m a family man first and you can catch me on the weekends refereeing ⚽️ for my boys. Art and anime is my passion. I was a huge fitness nut and weightlifting was life. Now I just try to stay in shape and running is my jam Early on I was in school for graphic design and marketing. I dropped out due to life After that I got into the work force. I guess you could call me a jack of all trades, literally. I was a mechanic, tower climber, electrician apprentice, warehouse worker, car salesman, finance manager and now in the Military. I guess you’ll want to know how I got into crypto. I got in at ATH at the time in 2020 and let’s just say 2021 was a crazy ride for me. I found xrp in late 2021 and of course like you all probably been a believer ever since. I wasn’t fully involved with trading NFTs until late 21. I was heavily trading on the Ethereum blockchain. I learned a ton. Many many losses, sprinkled in with a few wins. All around it was a win for me because it was invaluable education on NFT projects and how to run and not run a project. Got involved and moderated a few projects. Been involved with a project where the founder rugged us and I was apart of the team. I think after that it was me saying Fck it, I can do better than this. So I decided to create my own project. Of course when creating my own project I had to come to the XRPL as it is the number 1 token I believe in. Pretty much the rest is history. Started everything in April and along the way recruited an amazing team. Now we have sights on huge goals that we can achieve and ultimately make sure our community and project is a pillar on the XRPL once the masses come through. Also a few months ago we started xRonin Labs LLC. We definitely aim to grow as we are now a business. I know it wasn’t a huge back story but I figure after this anything you want to know I’m here for.

Mahalo!
