Mind: Jon grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. He graduated from the Emory University School of Medicine and completed Adult Neurology training at UNC-Chapel Hill before doing advanced training in Neurophysiology at the University of Virginia and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Body: Jon is a multi-decade advocate for health and wellness topics and “runs the run.” He has been running and training year around for 22 years and completed multiple Boston marathons and numerous ultra-marathons. He still runs 50 miles per week. When he’s not running, eating, sleeping, or working, he walks his 10-year-old rescue dog, Sophie.

Heart: Jon met his partner when she was at Duke Medical School and they moved to the San Francisco Bay Area just over 20 years ago to join the Permanente Medical Group. He recently co-developed a Brain Health Program at Renown Health. He is part of a core team of clinicians, experts, and advocates creating a state-wide Memory Network to serve the Nevada community better.
