Jon grew up running amok outdoors in Southwest Colorado including rafting on the Dolores, San Juan and upper Colorado rivers. By the time he was a teenager he could handle a boat on his own through Class IV water, including Snaggletooth during the pre-dam 1983 historic runoff. Years later he returned to Dolores raise to raise his own family.  Jon has practiced law in Southwest Colorado since 1992 with an emphasis in real estate, water law and the needs of small business and municipalities.  He is grateful for the opportunity to help the DRBA further its mission so that others can fully appreciate the treasure this river is to our community. Jon joined the board in 2017.
