The Babblings of JT

jtwb768 – My AG Social

Author: JT Santana

jtwb768 is the username that Jay Santana set up in 1988 for himself when he set up his first AOL account. That name has stuck with him for over 30 years now. Jay resides in Davenport, Iowa at this time, but still calls Chicago home. For over 25 years Jay has been active in community organizing, political campaigns, and social media. During his time with Obama for America (2007-2015) he and an amazing team of tech junkies discovered the many uses social media held for political campaigns and candidates and took their new found knowledge all the way to DC! Jay’s academic background is in English, Spanish, and Integrated Communications (Marketing). https://about.me/jay.santana
