Peter Jonnes is a life-long entrepreneur, who enjoys pursuing professional opportunities and overcoming new challenges. He launched his first business, TotallyDrivers.com while in high school. The website was the catalyst for his enduring love of business, technology, and marketing. Over the next few years TotallyDrivers.com grew to one of the largest device driver and pc support sites, which he operated from his dorm room at Penn State. While in college, he started a separate web consulting business called Jonnes, LLC. The consulting business provided web design, development and marketing services to small businesses.
After graduating, he entered the job market working as a Web and CRM Developer. Within a year, Peter and a business partner started Protos Marketing, an affiliate marketing and web development business. At this point, there were too few hours in the day. Peter was working a full-time job, operating TotallyDrivers.com, providing consulting services and scaling Protos. He suspended consulting services and sold TotallyDrivers.com to a software company. Protos quickly found success and 6 months later, he quit his job to focus solely on Protos Marketing.
Protos quickly grew from a small at-home business, to a multi-national company headquartered in Costa Rica, with over 60 employees, serving customers in dozens of countries. As a small business owner, he has worn many hats including COO, CTO, and CMO. After 8 years of running the business (4 of those years living abroad in Costa Rica and the Cayman Islands), Peter left the company to move back to the United States. He restarted his consulting business as Aileron Marketing.
In 2012, he joined FortuneBuilders as the Digital Marketing Director. In this role he built the communications team overseeing the design, development, and management of all the web properties for the company. This included a variety of responsibilities including CRO, A/B Testing, SEO, Analytics, Data Management, Content Management, Landing Pages, Kajabi and CMS.
Peter has also explored other opportunities. In 2016, he launched a real estate investment company GoodProperties.com with properties located in Virginia, California, and Costa Rica. In 2020, he started Lift Bridge Woodworks, a home business making custom furniture and decor, and an outlet away from technology.
