Jon is the most prolific down to earth dude you'll work with. He knows his strengths and applies them to every project he works on, never under-delivers or overpromises. Everything you'd like to have in a creative partner... Proud to work with him and I only wish there was more of him to go around! Always look forward to any opportunity to work together.
