John Caballero(III)

John Caballero is a Florida Native whose family moved to Florida in the late 1890's to work on the Flagler Railroad. His grandfather (Kenneth Oscar Morgan) was a Navigation and Flight Instructor for the Navy and Pan Am (Miami, FL) in the 1940's. This is where Ken and his wife Harriet became close friends with Gene (Roddenberry). John grew up hearing stories about in-flight occurrences, (losing engines, doors coming open, and yes, UFO's) and Star Trek. This piqued his interest in Science Fiction and technology. At the age of 6 John began building electronic kits trying to emulate technology of the future. His mother, having lived overseas for most of her life, was a polyglot (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German) encouraged John to learn languages as well. As a teenager, John spent two years living in Germany, going to the local schools, traveling and learning about other cultures and history. John returned to the US in 1979 and earned a degree in Foreign Languages in 1987. Keeping with his love for languages, societies and history, John also enjoys the diverse cultures of Star Trek. In 1989, John started his career in IT as a Main Frame systems operator. Also in 1989, John earned his Federal Communications Amateur Technician Radio License and started work in electronic circuit prototyping and construction. In 1994, John joined IBM. John left IBM in 2002 and has continued in IT but now also uses his skills and interests producing, marketing and supporting multiple Star Trek and other Science Fiction productions. In 2014 John started assisting with Star Trek Horizon by designing the CG and storage system. That led to John assisting with "Prelude to Axanar" (2014), Star Trek "These are the Voyages" Volume 3 (2014), "Axanar" (2015), "Star Trek Pirates Cove" (2016) and "Star Trek Excelsior" (2016).
