Aim high, shoot strong, and let the victories roll in.

It might not sound like the most natural career path, but Jon is sure his background in construction is key to his success in accounting. By combining the things he learned and experience he gained as a carpenter with his expertise in cost segregation, Jon's been able to work on engagements ranging from apartments to billion-dollar stadiums — and regardless of a project's size or cost, Jon enjoys them all, along with the opportunity to talk to people about what he does, and how it can benefit them.

Little known fact: Jon played in the APA World 8-Ball Championships twice!
