Jon joined Classic in 2014, and today he’s the lead pilot at our Moab UT base as well as one of the managers of our OperationsControl Center in Woods Cross UT.
As a kid, Jon loved flying remote control planes, “but remote control helicopters were 100 times harder.” It was that challenge that inspired Jon to enroll in flight school in Salt Lake City without asking for an introduction or even a brochure. “It was the easiest sale they ever had,” Jon said of the school.
After graduating, Jon worked as a flight instructor in Utah, before flying tours of the Western Rim of the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. He says he was drawn to Classic for its locations and its proximity to his hometown of Salt Lake City, giving him the freedom to fly and “my little way of helping someone on their worst day.”
When he’s not working, Jon lives in West Jordan UT with his wife Heather and their two boys. He enjoys mountain biking, eating just about anything (especially pizza and sushi,) and coaching his sons’ football and baseball teams. After he’s finished coaching his boys, they coach him on how to play Madden on Xbox!
