December Crew Member of the Month – Cmdr. Jon Zenor

Since joining the USS Tiburon in June Jon Zenor has been on a mission.  Even though Jon lives over an hour away from most Tiburon events he has participated in as many Tiburon events as possible.  He has been involved in our Facebook group and email list as well.  The first time we met Jon was at Denver first ComicCon.  Jon drove all the way up from Colorado Springs on Saturday of the Con to hang out with us and work the Tiburon’s table.  During that time we all learned something; there is a large interest in STAR TREK Fandom in Colorado Springs.  Many people stopping at the table were interested but with living in Colorado Springs were not sure they could make it to our events.

 

Jon decided that he was going to work at starting a new group in Colorado Springs. He began talking to his friends at work, meeting other fan groups like Steampunk and Star Wars, posting information in various locations.  Then he set up a meeting time.  An away team from the Tiburon headed down to support Jon and his first meeting. All together there was 20+ in attendance.  At that meeting in September a name was chosen, Zebulon Pike.  After many hours of hard work Jon was able to put together a crew and launch as a shakedown chapter of STARFLEET the International STAR TREK Fan association on November 13th 2012.

 

Jon Zenor was a good member of the USS Tiburon and we look forward to a great relationship with him and the USS Zebulon Pike!
