Jon shares his own journey from childhood tragedy to the NFL. It is a first-person account of resilience, forgiveness and purpose that lands in any room.

Magic that carries the message

Jon is in the speaking business and magic is his tool. World-class magic is woven through the talk, so your message sticks long after the event ends.

Proven on the biggest stages

Apple, Marriott, Kroger, RE/MAX, Facebook, Campbell Soup and Hard Rock have all put Jon in front of their people.

Standing ovations, every time
