The More Important Stuff

Jon enjoys playing the drums, guitar, snowboarding and hiking the beautiful Colorado mountains with his family and faithful pups, Misha and Gretel.

In 2024, Jon moved the offices from downtown to Golden so Jon, family and friends would be closer to the mountains as well as one of his favorite places on the planet, RedRocks Amphitheater, and the magic both local and national artists bring there.
