Jon is a courageous and principled leader, who maintains sensitivity toward those who work for him. His Christian faith undergirds his strong work ethic. His interpersonal skills allow him to easily develop trusted relationships with others. Jon has trained my nonprofit in Gino Wichman's Traction model of business management. Jon has also assisted my nonprofit in transitioning a new executive director into his role. Jon's position at Truth in Love Ministry has prepared him for much larger responsibilities.
