An outdoor enthusiast from an early age, Jon combines his passion for Michigan’s natural resources and good public policy with his work in the firm’s environment and energy practice. His time spent canoeing Michigan’s rivers, hiking its trails, and exploring its woods gives Jon a real‐world perspective on natural resource management. His love for adventure also feeds his penchant for pragmatism, thoroughness, and order when it comes to work. After all, you don’t complete multiday treks in remote wilderness without the ability to plan and execute.

Jon specializes in natural resource and environmental issues, including water quality, land use, and watershed and resource management. He conducts research and analysis and writes reports on a wide range of environmental issues. Jon also serves as the trust manager and secretary for the multimillion‐dollar Great Lakes Fishery Trust, which is managed and staffed by PSC. In this role, he oversees project staff and provides fiscal management and strategic direction to the organization. Additionally, he works with local, state, and federal entities, universities, and nonprofit organizations to develop and administer projects that advance the mission of the GLFT.

Over the years, Jon has worked for several organizations — including a university‐based policy research center; a trade association based in Washington, D.C.; and an environmental engineering and risk management company — which has helped him understand the multiple and differing views that shape public policy.
