Jon joined Madison Avenue as Pastoral Resident in 2021. His areas of focus are communications, evangelism, youth, and young adults. 

Jon was born in Florida but calls Texas home. Though he loves New York City, he misses the smell of BBQ and sound of central air-conditioning. Before joining the MAPC staff, Jon received a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations & Mass Communication from Texas State University (go Bobcats) and a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. His seminary studies focused on the topics of race and ethnicity in the New Testament, the role of lament in Reformed theology, and apocalyptic thought in Paul’s letters.  

In his free time, Jon serves on the board of Lutheran Ministries in Higher Education - an ecumenical student ministry on the college campuses of New York City - as its secretary. He is passionate about the future of the church and the young leaders who will guide it.

Jon lives with his wife, Alyson, and their dog, Sam, on the Upper East Side.
