Howdy, nice to meet ya.
I’m Jon.
I’m married to my best friend and a smitten dad to our two sets of twins. Over here, I’m your resident enneagram 9 (peacemaker) + seeker of creating a meaningful impact in this world.
Forever a creative at heart + entrepreneur, I’ve been drawing logos and dreaming big since kindergarten.
From the day I graduated college, I chased a mission-aligned career that took my wife and I around the world spending a year living in Thailand then landing fully in the nonprofit space back in the U.S. for the next 15 years.
First as a marketer, then a fundraiser. And somehow it all connected in my brain. They weren’t two different departments - but one united mission. And to this day call myself a marketer disguised as a fundraiser.
There was something about being so close to a mission where I could see it. And the impact. To know both those who were fueling a mission through their generosity to knowing the people and families directly impacted as beneficiaries is truly a gift to bear witness to.
There is pure magic + the best of humanity on display in the collision of generosity and it’s impact - and it’s captivated me something deep.
From launching the marketing for a billion-dollar fundraising campaign to designing an employee giving campaign model from scratch that would go on to be replicated by development shops around the world, my heart - and passion - are deeply rooted in this work.
In 2020, I jumped my fundraising career to chase an idea alongside a couple of good friends. It was an idea, based on values - and harnessing the principles that centered what I had learned to be true in my 15 years of development work. The power of community + story + belonging at the very center of impactful work.
