Jon is an exceptional writer. It says a lot about him that he eagerly agreed to tackle one of the toughest "beats" on our health-news writing team: brain science. Every week, he waded through dense, complex research and then wrote about it in a way that any reader could understand it. Of course, Jon's editing experience serves him well in his writing – the stories he submitted were always clean as a whistle. Jon also has keen insights into what makes a company successful. He's the kind of guy you want to have at a meeting – I really valued his input.

Jon is a thoughtful and thorough writer and editor. His wordsmithing ability is rare and appreciated. We worked together over several years in Forecast's publications, both on the magazine Public Art Review and later for the digital FORWARD series. An affable and agreeable writing partner, he's not afraid to ask questions, approaches the written word with care, and is adept at writing headlines. I have complete confidence in his work, whether he's donning his editor's cap to untangle a gnarly essay or spinning his own inspired words of gold. Any project is lucky to have him on board.

–Jen Dolen, Content and Communications Manager, Forecast Public Art

In my 25+ years editing freelance writers, I've learned that the best have 3 things in common: they bring fearless creativity to their drafts, they embrace the chance to revise based on feedback, and they deliver on time. In the seven years that I served as Jon's editor, Jon did all three every single time. I don't think he's capable of writing anything boring. And he brought a level of care to his work—always asking the right questions and giving the extra effort to be sure he was meeting expectations—that made ours a fruitful and downright fun collaboration every time. What are you waiting for? Hire Jon.

Jon has a great ability to distill complex messages into clear, impactful content that hits the mark every time. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jon for several years, and he consistently knocks it out of the park. He does his research, and he knows exactly the right questions to ask during interviews. Jon has been a reliable and talented resource for our team, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and seasoned writer.

Jon is a joy to work with and has a gift for the written word. He's written several freelance magazine stories for me and always finds a way into an editorial piece with a fresh take and real talent. I highly recommend him.

—Kelly O’Hara Dyer, Editor, Minnesota Alumni magazine

I've had the good fortune to work with and for Jon on several occasions and would do so again in less than a heartbeat. A consummate professional with infectious enthusiasm, Jon tackles every task with enviable gusto. His writing is superb, matched only by his editorial expertise. Any publication or project would be made better by his contributions.
