Originally from northern British Columbia, Jon misses the Rocky Mountains but otherwise is enjoying living in Timmins. He has been happily married to his lovely wife Alex since October 2017 and together they have three boys: Gabriel, Micah and Benjamin. Most of his free time is spent with his family playing games, going for walks, or relaxing together and watching movies. Other hobbies include carpentry projects, biking, hunting, and telling fantastic Dad Jokes to his kids (they have a different opinion about them).

People are one of Jon’s biggest passions. God first led him into Youth Ministry in 2012, and since then walking with people through life’s ups and downs has become a clearer and stronger passion. One of his favorite things about Ministry is that it takes place in many different settings – it could be a Youth Group activity at church, a day spent at the ski hill, or an afternoon spent making nachos in his kitchen at home and then playing board games. Jon enjoys each unique opportunity to connect with people and encourage them on their faith journeys. He also loves belonging to the community of people that make up God’s family (the Church) and believes that there is a place there for everyone – helping people connect and become involved with this community is another one of his passions.
