Jon is the Co-Owner and Operations Manager at Sozo Lifestyle Medicine. In a less formal title, he is the Doer of Things. He is an Arizona native and grew up in the Phoenix area. Maryrose and Jon have three amazing boys and one incredible daughter. Both Maryrose and Jon have planted their roots in north Scottsdale where they plan to continue to raise their family. Prior to having children, Jon was an avid rock climber, hiker, and enthusiasts of everything outdoors. He has made it a point to expose his children to the same activities that he enjoyed before they were born and loves sharing adventures with them.

When Jon is not working at Sozo, he is a fire Captain paramedic with a local fire department. His career as a fire fighter has been a perfect fit for his skills and passion. When not putting out fires, he is highly involved in the development and mentorship of newly hired firefighters and those wanting a career in the fire service. Prior to being a fire fighter, Jon was a competitive gymnastics coach in the Scottsdale area. He was involved in coaching and training high level gymnasts from ages 5-18 years old. He developed strength and conditioning programs and skill development drills and also trained and coached cheerleaders and other athletes in strength and conditioning to improve their athletic performance. Needless to say, Jon has always had a passion for coaching, mentoring and helping those around him. He loves helping the Sozo community thrive in their health goals and celebrate their accomplishments.

Jon’s vision is to create an environment where the members can tell stories, plan outings together and create a community of friends and family while getting active, healthy and staying motivated.
