About Jose Calderon

I have worked as an Engineer and as a Program Manager, gaining 25+ year experience across the Aviation, Home Goods, Telecommunications, Semiconductor, and Sporting Goods industries. Most recently, I made a career change, moving to SharkNinja\'s Program Office, within their New Product Development group with focus on new launches on the domestic and international Corded vacuum markets.When I am not with my family or at work, you will most often find me running around streets, tracks and trails wherever I go. People often ask why I run so much. I usually reply, “Why aren’t you?” I have completed 8 marathons (including 5 Boston Marathons) along with dozens of other races, as running is not just a hobby but a passion. Few things outside of family make me feel consistently better and stronger of mind and body.
