Jon believes business is never 'just business' and that all business is personal. He strives to serve by cultivating care and compassion, adhering to the 'Platinum Rule' to show people the dignity they deserve while making the world a better place to live. As a trusted executive for over 30 years in mid-sized/Fortune 150 settings, Jon learned a company is only as strong as its people, its best leaders are made not born, and a leader’s foremost job is to cultivate an environment that develops new leaders. Engaging with top-notch mentors, coaches, and colleagues at each stop on his journey, Jon refined the interpersonal communication skills necessary to build and unite thriving trusted teams in any business environment.

Before Focal Point, Jon led several businesses to achieve record revenue, market share, profit, and customer satisfaction, earn recognitions for Product and Supplier of the Year, and win 2 Emerson Chairman’s Awards for Operational Excellence. He is a marketing/international business graduate of The Ohio State University and earned an MBA in Finance from the Thunderbird School of Global Management. Jon holds certifications in Trusted Leadership, Business & Executive Coaching, Communications, Performance & Behavioral Assessments, Exit Planning, and Coaching Mastery.
