Core Values
Previously, I worked at SaaS Academy helping B2B SaaS founders grow, scale, and build an empire.
I worked at Resonate Recordings as a VP of Sales and Marketing. At Resonate Recordings, I implemented GTM enterprise strategies.
I also previously worked at Nationwide Financial (formerly Jefferson National) as a director leading managers and wholesalers to exceed annual sales targets year-over-year. I oversaw the implementation of a national enterprise strategy and led relationship management for the top accounts. I conceptualized unique learning and development programs utilizing FBI Hostage Negotiator resources, chess strategy, Dr. Seuss books, Harvard case study methods. I regularly initiated collaboration efforts with product development, marketing, operations, and compliance to develop GTM and enablement resources.
Experience
I love my three children. You can often find me being a chauffeur (yes, I have even worn a black cap) or as a cheerleader for my kiddos. I also cherish being “Uncle Jon” to numerous nieces and nephews.
If not with my kiddos, you can often find me outdoors with one of our Vizslas. Being outside is my therapy.
I have lived in Korea, Kansas, North Carolina, California, Alaska (near the North Pole), Texas, Belgium, Tunisia, and Kentucky. I have traveled to England, Germany, Scotland, France, Malta, Turkey, Thailand, and a few other places here and there.

Companies
Feet. Crinkling plastic water bottles. Smacking. Jello wobbling on a plate. When someone says, “Because that’s how it’s always been.”
