Founder of MatchRite Care and 531 Digital. Husband. Father. After losing his son, CJ, Chris chose purpose over pain, building companies rooted in community impact, equity, and service to others.
For over two decades, Chris Paul Jones has worked at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and human impact. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, he has dedicated his career to building systems both in software and in the lives of the people those systems serve.
That purpose was forever shaped by the loss of his son, CJ. In response to losing CJ, Chris and his family founded the Never Give Up Foundation and Plucker’s Paradise, initiatives created in CJ’s name to support children and families facing terminal childhood cancer. That same resolve led to the creation of MatchRite Care, a health data platform designed to ensure patients can own, access, and share their medical records. It’s not just technology, it’s responsibility.
"I didn't build a company. I built a response to loss, to injustice, and to the belief that technology should serve every life equally."
