After almost 20 years, Jon left the financial services industry to find more meaningful ways to give back to his community. He currently serves on his local school board and transportation agency.

Jon decided to join the Athenian Board of Trustees as a way to give back to a community that has positively impacted his family. Both of his children began their journey here in sixth grade. Athenian has become a second home for them. While drawn to the educational opportunities and experiences Athenian offers, what ultimately convinced Jon and his wife that this was the right place was the school's commitment to nurturing all aspects of its students. At Athenian, Ryan and Natalie have developed a true sense of who they are, and how they can make the world a better place. He finds this truly inspirational, and wants to help Athenian continue on its mission.
