As a suicide/abuse survivor, Johnny Crowder spent his formative years searching for resources to help him cope with his mental health conditions, ranging from OCD and bipolar disorder to schizophrenia.
After studying psychology at UCF and volunteering with NAMI, he wanted to combine the neuroscience principles he learned about in school with the power of peer support that changed his life in treatment. In 2017, he began sending unsolicited psychology facts, journaling prompts, and exercises to friends via text message. The response was so positive that he opened it up to the public, and the rest is history. Today, Crowder is a Certified Recovery Peer Specialist (CRPS-Y|A) and mental health advocate who relies on the simple strategies he shares through Cope Notes to live a happier, healthier life than ever before. |
Founded in 2018, High Tech Connect started as a way to bring together multiple facets of the tech community at one event. We saw a community that wanted interconnectivity outside of interest-specific Meetup groups. By hosting High Tech Connect Tech Fests, our goal is for community to be nurtured in a casual and comfortable space of like minded individuals. From students trying to settle on their future career-path, to seasoned investors looking for the next big thing, High Tech Connect is bridging the Tampa tech community. |
