Jon is proud to be an employee of WDIV Local 4 for over thirty years. He was born in Royal Oak, Michigan and majored in Art at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Art has always been a driving force in his life. His parents recognized this in him at a very early age and enrolled him at The Cranbrook Academy. He goes through any given day processing all that he encounters visually, in great detail. It’s probably the reason that his position as Style Editor is "the perfect fit." He loves painting and sketching, photography, and interior design.
