| Born
and raised in Pinellas County, Jon grew up in the central heart
beat of the Tampa Bay area. The majority of his childhood was
spent enjoying the local beaches and family entertainment venues
of Tampa Bay. After College, Jon began a business career with
Republic Bank, which he helped expand from seven local branches
to over seventy branches state wide, which culminated in the
honored title of “Florida’s largest commercial bank”.
Being married to his high school sweetheart Heather, and the
responsibility of raising children of their own, Jon felt obligated
to promote family values and a brighter future for Tampa Bay’s
next generation. So, in the summer of 2004, Jon resigned his
position with Republic Bank and became the Executive Director
of Crosspointe Church. In 2005, Jon helped organize and establish
Tampa Bay’s largest patriotic family festival, Freedom
Fest. In addition to his Executive Pastoral duties at Crosspointe
Church, Jon volunteers as the CFO of New Found Family Inc, serves
as President of the Central Pinellas Ministerial Association
and sits on the board of Directors for Faith Tampa Bay. Jon
currently serves as a Director, specializing in management,
marketing and administration.
