In my own words
— Jon<p>I'm a dedicated leader with lifelong exposure and experience in an office/warehouse environment through our family business.
For the last 11 years, I've been working within a tight team with various responsibilities including warehouse operations, inventory, sales, customer service, revenue forecasting, and more with the last 8 years being focusing on revenue as the Director of Sales. When I'm not working, I stay active by skateboarding with my kids. I'm most passionate about art, movies, skateboarding, and my kids. My top priority is taking care of my two kids and being part of a team that will allow me to support them and be able to set them up for the future.</p>
