Jonathan Davenport

Business Manager

I believe listening is more important than talking — understanding where someone is coming from before trying to help them with where they want to go.

Jon in real life

What makes you tick?

I am a religious person and my faith is what I wake up for. Through that faith, I hold the number-one tenet close to my heart: to love others.

What keeps you busy outside of work?

I enjoy being a loving father, husband, brother, and neighbor, and I love magic and mystery novels.

Favorite thing about where you live?

I love California. The diversity of the people, climate, and geography make it an ideal place to live. On any given day, I can head to the beach, mountains, desert, or something in between. While there is never a shortage of activities to engage in, I’m mainly a beach and boating person.
