Jon began his career in 1990 with the legendary healthcare team at Giltspur/Boston, working with industry leaders Burroughs Wellcome, Bristol Myers, AstraZeneca, and Immunex. In 1996, he joined Access TCA, shifting his focus to business development and expanding into a broader range of life science companies — from early-stage biotechs to global pharmaceutical brands. Over nearly three decades, Jon helped grow Access’s healthcare business by more than 1400%. His role spanned business development, client management, creative strategy, marketing, and executive leadership.

Prior to launching Friday Morning, Jon flexed his entrepreneurial muscle by revitalizing the venerable Old Vines Wine Bar in Kennebunk, ME, and expanding the brand to its current locations in Naples, FL.

Jon currently serves as President-Elect of the Healthcare Convention & Exhibitors Association (HCEA), the only trade organization dedicated exclusively to the needs of healthcare exhibitors, associations, and their supplier/partners. He chaired HCEA’s Education Committee from 2022–2024 and is a regular speaker at HCEA and ExhibitorLIVE conferences. He has also served on the boards of Access TCA and its sister company, Nuvista.

Jon lives with his family in Kennebunkport, Maine, within easy reach of two airports, two major ski areas, one former president — and an endless supply of lobster rolls.
