While on staff he was part of the highest finish in the Corps' history - 5th place (98 and 99). Jon currently is the visual designer for several marching bands in the state including Bluffton, Norwell, Fairfield, Blue River Valley, Carroll, and Huntington North. In addition to his marching band experience, Jon is well-seasoned in both winter percussion and winter guard; where he has instructed and designed for several groups in Indiana and Florida. Jon has a bachelor's degree in marketing from Indiana Institute of technology, but his true talent lies with the marching arts. Jon is happily married and is a "stay-at home" father of three children. While being at home with his children, Jon continues his visual design work.
