Jon has been a member of the Science Department and has coached Cross Country at MA since 2010.  He has taught all of the chemistry and physics courses MA offers and coached runners on the Cross Country and Track & Field teams.  He is very happy that MA keeps his Wilderness First Responder certification current so he can continue to take students on trail runs and Outings.  In 2016, MA gave Jon the opportunity to create a unique physics elective called "Electrical Engineering + Computer Science," in which students learn about the physics of electronic components and how they are combined to create our modern information infrastructure.  Since then, the class has become one of the pillars of MA's physics offerings.  He also teaches an electric guitar-building Minicourse, bringing his experience as a musician and guitarist/bassist to the physics lab.  A Marin County native, Jon grew up in Novato, attended Novato High School, studied Physics and Astronomy at UC Berkeley (BA '04), and returned to Novato High School, where he taught for 5 years before coming to MA.

Jon lives in San Rafael with his wife, a middle school teacher, and daughter.  When not at MA, he can typically be found running the beautiful trails of Marin or playing music for North Bay theater productions.
