Jon was born into a printing family and began his career as a technical illustrator and graphic designer. He is a serial entrepreneur, inventor, product designer and patent holder. One of his early ventures was a software company based in the Silicon Valley where he coined the term Infotainment and developed a line of home computer software with an emphasis on fun and learning games. At this company, he created many firsts in the industry and led the development of the only handheld gaming device with interchangeable cartridges.
Jon then shifted his interests to advertising and marketing where he worked as an executive for over 30 years. He filled roles as creative director, partner and then principle in his own advertising, marketing, PR and design firms based in Miami and the San Francisco Bay Area. This firm joint-ventured with over 100 startup companies where Jon gained an invaluable working knowledge of what it really takes to launch, operate, expand, merge and sell a business. He is uniquely qualified as a board member, mentor and business coach.
