Juan and Ken Ahonen-Jover are the co-founders of eQualityGiving.org - the online community dedicated to achieve LGBTQ legal equality.

The couple is focused on which organizations, elected officials, and strategies can lead to achieve legal equality faster. Their philanthropic experience includes donating to politicians, organizations and universities, as well as hosting fundraisers, serving on national and local boards, and participating in endorsement panels, political task forces, and donor conferences. Combining this experience with backgrounds in technology and research, they have developed an approach to giving strategically using the internet, which is implemented in this website.

Juan holds four advanced degrees including a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (supercomputers) as well as a Masters in Engineering Management, both from Stanford University. He is a Fulbright scholar, co-author of a textbook on computers, and fluent in four languages. He worked at AT&T, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and American Express. As an entrepreneur in computer chips, he sold his company, now part of Intel. Since selling the company, at age 40, he has devoted most of his time to achieving equality.

Ken is a Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians, a Regional Faculty Member with the American Heart Association, and Medical Director of Advanced Cardiac Life Support for Baptist Health Systems of South Florida. He is medical director of Emergency Services in a hospital in the Florida Keys. His passion for politics has developed into his role of political editor at eQualityGiving, where he now devotes much of his time.
