About

jon runs panorama window cleaning and bitethemango.us graphic design.

jon is married with children and has been a pastor since 1990, having served in the roles of worship, youth, assistant, and senior pastor. originally from minnesota, jon and his family have lived and served in minnesota, south dakota, and utah. his service has landed him in assemblies of God churches and an elca lutheran, episcopal, and an anglican church.

jon left his ‘church job’ to start over in the market place and be with people more; he likes people. he started a toastmasters club because he likes people and is currently serving his second term as president of that club.  jon also enjoys communicating or performing and is a past member of the park city storytellers guild.
