Jon earned his law degree from the Indiana University School of Law, graduating in 2005 in the top 15% of his class. During law school, Jon was an Associate Editor of the Indiana Law Review and clerked for the Honorable Judge Reuben Hill in Marion County Criminal Court 18.

Some of Jon's past successful appellate cases have involved juvenile rights, marijuana law, search and seizure, Miranda rights, and traffic law.
Jon is also very involved in the Hancock County problem solving courts. He is the attorney appointed by the courts to represent all participants in both the Hancock County Drug Court and the Hancock County Behavioral Health Court.
