CoFounder, Chief Creative Officer, Board Chair at BibleProject
Jon was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and is proud to call Portland home. He has been married for 20 years and has two boys.
Jon received a BA in Bible and Theology at Multnomah University.
After working overseas in Christian ministry and then serving for a year as a pastor, Jon stepped into the marketplace to explore digital communication. He started two digital communication companies and worked with clients ranging from Google and P&G to Silicon Valley start-ups and nonprofits. In 2009, Jon’s first company, Epipheo, introduced the business world to “explainer videos.” Jon has a long history of creating shareable videos that spread messages organically on the internet.
In early 2016, Jon ended his participation in former business ventures to work exclusively on BibleProject, which he has helped grow over 100 employees and reach 200 million people.
