Jon came to WUOT in 2022 as the local host for NPR’s Morning Edition. He previously served as a producer, reporter, and on-air talent for several stations within the former Citadel Broadcasting group of Knoxville. Jon’s later pursuits were found in the civil service branches as a Critical Care Flight Paramedic with UT LIFESTAR, and later with the U.S. State Department's Air Wing Unit in Baghdad, Iraq.

Outside of radio, Jon is a private pilot who enjoys cheering on the VOLS and hiking/biking the many trails our region has to offer.
