Hi, there. Or ‘howdy’ as they say here in Oklahoma.

I’m Jon. Married to my best friend and a smitten dad to our two sets of twins. I’m your resident enneagram 9 (peacemaker) + here for the Impact Uprising. ✨

Forever a creative at heart + entrepreneur, I’ve been drawing logos and dreaming big since kindergarten. 

From the day I graduated college, I chased a mission-aligned career that took my wife and me around the world spending a year living in Thailand before landing fully in the nonprofit space back in the U.S. for the next 15 years. 

First as a designer, then marketer, then a fundraiser.  And to this day I still call myself a marketer disguised as a fundraiser. Hoping that takes the edge off a little? ha!

In my time within the walls of a nonprofit, I had the formative experiences of art directing a billion-dollar fundraising campaign, to leading + growing teams in marketing and fundraising,  and creating campaigns  from scratch - including an employee giving campaign model - that would go on to be replicated by development shops around the world and raising millions of dollars for impactful missions.

In 2020, I jumped my fundraising career to chase an idea alongside a couple of good friends. It was an idea, based on our shared values - and harnessing the principles that centered what I had learned to be true in my 15 years of development work. The power of community + story + belonging at the very center of creating sustainable impact + deep purpose.

Meet We Are For Good a new media ecosystem built upon kindness with an aim to revolutionize the nonprofit + social impact sector by spreading an abundant mindset, championing equity + dignity and centering community in our teams + missions + impact.

Launching our company alongside the launch of the  We Are For Good Podcast - which debuted as #1 in Apple Podcasts in Nonprofit Category in 2020 and has grown an audience of rabid fans - surpassing more than 500,000 downloads. Our podcast is now ranked in the top 1% globally - welcoming tens of thousands of nonprofit leaders as listeners monthly. We curate timely topics, connect deeply good humans and amplify the strategies and mindsets to meet the moment + create meaningful impact.

In 2021, we launched We Are For Good PRO - think "Netflix for Nonprofits" - our reimagining of professional development for the sector by bringing together the best teachers, actionable frameworks in the context of bingeworthy educational content. This content library streams for nonprofit leaders and is built in the power of community to encourage professional growth + connection.

In 2022, we launched We Are For Good Studios - the creative arm of our media ecosystem that works with value-aligned creators to develop podcasts serving the impact uprising. 

Over the years, I've consulted alongside more than 50 nonprofit + social impact organizations to leverage the power of good design, strategy + impact. And today, this work is under the brand Well & Good Studio. 

In all my life + work, my vision (and heart!) is to cultivate an Impact Uprising: this unshakable belief that philanthropy (both the act of giving + the good it creates) changes people to the core. And that transformative power has a trickle-down effect, so by getting more people involved in personal philanthropy, we can change the world - for good.

Thanks for being here. I look forward to connecting with you, my friend!
