Jon is a 2005 Biology/Environmental Studies Graduate of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, otherwise known as the wind capitol of the upper Midwest. He competed in Nordic Skiing all four years, earning All-MIAC honors in the skate race (4th place) his Junior year. Jon trains way too much for someone with nothing to train for, but besides skiing his hobbies include: bandy (for those of you who know what that is), television, hot saunas and cold lakes, and Chinese buffets (where he has been known to eat his weight in sesame chicken, just ask his former teammates). He also works at Joe’s Sporting Goods (preferably in Cross-Country Skis and reluctantly in Snowboards and Alpine Skis).
