He launched his career at Eaton in Dekalb, Illinois; spent the majority at Nordam Repair Division in Tulsa, and most recently at Arcosa Wind Towers also in Tulsa. To support his career he achieved his Certified Safety Professional (CSP) certification.

Jon was a gentle giant of a man, with a sly sense of humor and sense of calm confidence about him. He loved college football, especially the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Oklahoma State Cowboys. He lived a life of personal health and fitness, he achieved his I.S.S.A. certification for Personal Training, trained others, and never stopped lifting weights. Jon also enjoyed music of all kinds but primarily rock and heavy metal ... he was proficient on guitar and grew up playing tuba and coronet.
