A Career Forged by Duty & Sacrifice
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and adopted by a Navy family, Jon grew up surrounded by the values of service and sacrifice. In 2006, he answered the call to serve by joining the US Army as an Infantryman. Deployed to Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division, Jon earned the Combat Infantryman Badge and Army Achievement Medal for his actions in combat.
After leaving active duty, Jon continued his service in the Army Reserve, retraining as an Information Technology Specialist. His leadership and technical expertise led to deployments in Afghanistan, Qatar, and Kuwait, supporting missions across the Middle East and earning multiple promotions, culminating in his current rank of Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CW2).
Outside the military, Jon built a successful civilian career in cybersecurity and information technology, working with major organizations like Raymond James Financial and ARMA Global. His professional focus on protecting systems and information translates directly into his vision for protecting American interests, veterans, and working families.
Through hard work, education, and perseverance, earning a Bachelor’s in Information Technology and Management with a focus in Database Analytics and Cybersecurity, Jon embodies the spirit of dedication that defines the American Dream. His story is one of discipline, service, and a belief that integrity still matters in leadership.
