He recently returned to Patch, and journalism in general, after having spent some time working in both the communications sphere and the legal world.
From 2010 to 2011, Jon worked as the first-ever editor of the then-newly-launched Chestnut Hill Patch, before moving over to edit the Roxborough Patch, covering an area of Northwest Philly that he had previously covered for another community news publication.
Jon, a Philadelphia native, is passionate about hyperlocal news, and prides himself on covering news and events that are important to those who live and work in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Interesting things of note: in addition to his passion for journalism, Jon also has a keen interest in the legal world, and possesses his paralegal certificate. He worked for a number of years as a legal news reporter, and also spent some time in a law firm setting working as a paralegal. He is fascinated by court proceedings, lawyer sparring and the lawmaking process in general.
