Jon also impacts thousands of children each year through PEP, a non profit program he co-founded that works with schools and parents to develop positive kids. As Jon often says, “Positive kids become positive adults.”
Jon is a graduate of Cornell University and holds a masters in teaching from Emory University. Jon lives in northeast Florida with his wife and children. When he’s not speaking to businesses or schools you can find him playing lacrosse or basketball with his two “high energy” children.
