Jon in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

Motorcycling! I’m an avid motorcycle enthusiast, I spend most of my free time on two wheels out in the beautiful Idaho backcountry.

Favorite thing about where you live?

Eagle, Idaho is truly a hidden gem. We have some great restaurants in town, and we’re a short distance away from many outdoor activities. Skiing, hiking, biking…you name it, we have it!

Any words you try to live by?

“Treat others the way you want to be treated.”
