He is a graduate of San Francisco State University, where he majored in Creative Writing. He received his J.D. from Lewis and Clark Law School.
While in law school, Jon worked as a certified law clerk for Portland State University Student Legal Services where he assisted student clients with Landlord-Tenant, Debtor-Creditor, Consumer, Family, Employment, Criminal, Small Claims, and Personal Injury cases.
