Jon brings a unique internationally-focused background, having served as a director and designer of USAID-funded economic-development activities across the Middle East and North Africa regions, as well as stints living and working in Turkey and the Palestinian territories.
He has a bachelors degree from St Olaf College in history and a masters degree in international affairs and development from George Washington University in Washington DC. When not trying to help the Stafford business community grow and thrive, he can be found reading a book (fiction mostly), building legos, and conducting food experiments in the kitchen.
