Jon spent his formative years training in Tang Soo Do where he was lauded for his gracefulness, but rarely for his prowess. At the age of 16, he came to a fork in the road: he can either be a professional karate expert, or pursue a career in writing. He chose karate.
But that didn't work out.
Jon has been at the world’s best agencies working alongside the world’s most talented marketers (and occasionally ones that are just okay, but we don’t talk about them). He is currently a freelance Creative Director and Copywriter, where he solves complex marketing problems from his dining room table. But he also travels to the office when needed, because he’s a team player who doesn’t mind LA traffic. Especially where the 101 meets the 405.
