Jon and I worked together in entry-level leadership positions as peers in the US Navy. We quickly became friends and have continued our friendship for over two decades. He is a principled man who leads from his heart and convictions - a selfless servant for causes greater than himself. He took his leadership style, coupled with his unique experiences leading in the SEAL Teams, and now “pays it forward” as a Mindfulness coach and mentor to many. All of his techniques are backed in neuroscience and have quantifiable impacts on cognitive and physical health. If you work in a high-stress industry as a high performer, the skills Jon teaches are critical. Jon is the most qualified, passionate, and experientially relevant teacher you will find.

Jon is one of those rare breed leaders who can effectively respond to any challenge while maximizing participant buy-in. He’s a magnetic professional that displays impeccable self awareness with the ability to recognize and amplify the strengths of others. A force multiplier within any team or organization, plus a positive attitude that is contagious!

After spending a mere ten days with Jon it is clear to see he will do great things with his knowledge of mindfulness. Jon's concern for others and desire to spread compassion makes him a wonderful mindfulness coach. During our time together, Jon lead a group of military Veterans and Olympic athletes through a mindfulness meditation session, and we all walked away feeling more present and at ease. It was a pleasure and an honor to work with Jon, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to implement a mindfulness program/practice into their company or personal lives.

Jon is an extremely relatable and insightful mindfulness coach and educator who, even though only knowing him for a few weeks, has already made a big impact on me. I’d love to learn from him in the future and know he has an authentic wealth of knowledge in the mindfulness meditation space, which is hard to come by. I highly recommend Jon and know his methods and insights are important for anyone looking to improve the quality of their lives.

True professional! He went above and beyond to help me with my transition out of the USAF. Within minutes of talking to Jon, he was able to connect me with the right folks and companies, in my area, that could utilize my skillsets. Very excited for what the future holds. Jon played a massive role in making it happen and I am truly grateful.

Jon is one of the most driven people I have ever met. You’d expect a SEAL/Naval Officer to be detail-oriented, hard-working, and deeply committed… so I will tell you something you might not know about him. He is incredibly selfless. His care for others and passion for helping others succeed is second to none. He is the type of person you could meet for the first time and feel like you’ve known one another for ages. Finally, when he sets his mind to something, watch out. He’ll under-promise and over-deliver on everything he sets out to do!

I've known Jon for over 5 years and we've worked together for about half of that time. Bottom line: Jon is a phenomenal leader, tremendous problem-solver and respected mentor with an IMPECCABLE REPUTATION. I hand-selected Jon to work for me on some of our nation's most sensitive and difficult operational issues - which he nailed. He is a strategic visionary, critical thinker, and articulate communicator who demonstrates the highest standards of commitment, integrity, and humility every day. He will succeed at whatever endeavor he chooses.

I met Jon earlier this year at a large event he was hosting for veteran entrepreneurs. He was an amazing speaker and host, and I ultimately recruited him to be a part of Elite Meet and help me scale our events across the Mid Atlantic. He has already become irreplaceable in our business and is truly an awesome example of the type talent coming out of the SEAL Teams. Jon has my full endorsement for anything, but especially something public facing, and is someone I have come to rely on both personally and professionally.
