In business, he focuses on helping teams maximize their collective entrepreneurial talent. Over a 25 plus year career he has seen enough to help most teams get humming. This includes light-weight, high-impact tools like the startup canvas to test ideas, or Strategy OS for leadership teams, or lean agile management for work teams. His work journey includes roles coaching, advising and working in more than 30 business. This includes multiple startups, one with an exit toping 9 figures where he worked as COO helping to bring their first products to market. See the Approach page for more info.

He is a student of private investing with a focus on funding long-term success. He has raised money for his own ventures and invests in new ventures by helping them to craft their stories and by investing in their dreams. See Investing content on this site.

Despite finding the joy of biking later in life, he holds 4 USA Cycling National Championship downhill mountain biking titles and many other top podium finishes in downhill and enduro racing. To share his learnings, he coaches friends and wrote the book How to Turn a Bike which you can find on Amazon.

Jon lives with his wife and 2 children in Colorado where he bikes, skis and enjoys time with friends and family. He believes business success should be measured most by the freedom it brings to those in it. He continues practicing to build a life of empathy, joy, and adventure.
