Before taking the bench, Jon spent nearly 20 years in private practice, specializing in litigation and appeals of high-exposure business, insurance coverage, product liability, conspiracy, real estate, and legal malpractice cases in state and federal courts.

Jon grew up in Mequon, where his parents instilled in him and his younger brother the values that he brings to the courthouse each day – work hard, be fair, and treat everyone with dignity and respect. He and his wife, Sarah, a Racine native, were married in 2007. After their two children were born, they chose Racine County as the community in which to raise their family.

Jon holds a degree in Business Administration from the University of Southern California and graduated with honors from Marquette University law school in 1999.
