About Me

Jon’s journey is one of relentless determination and transformative growth. Raised in rural Vermont, he was shaped by a hands-on ethos—fix it, don’t replace it—that instilled in him a problem-solving mindset and an eye for precision. This foundation ignited his entrepreneurial spirit, propelling him to become a visionary CEO with a relentless drive to innovate.

From a young age, Jon eagerly tackled diverse challenges, gaining a wealth of experience that would later fuel his success. Drawn to the fast-paced culinary world, he embraced the opportunity to let his creativity soar, refine his ability to communicate under pressure, and master the art of team leadership. His culinary career was nothing short of exceptional, as he collaborated with some of the nation’s top chefs and led several successful restaurants to new heights.

However, Jon’s thirst for innovation and growth pushed him toward engineering—a field that demanded the precision and ingenuity he was eager to unleash. He excelled academically, consistently earning top honors, and quickly advanced in his professional roles, outpacing expectations and proving himself indispensable.

Still, the fire of entrepreneurship burned within him, and at 36, Jon took the leap to realize his dream, founding On Spot Solutions. Fueled by his passion, creativity, and unyielding drive, he turned his vision into a thriving enterprise, showcasing his ability to transform challenges into opportunities.

Now, Jon is returning to his culinary roots with his newest venture, Kanned Heat Kitchen. This groundbreaking concept aims to revolutionize the restaurant industry by placing its workforce at the forefront of the business model. Kanned Heat Kitchen is dedicated to creating a healthier, more inclusive environment that fosters loyalty, work ethic, and respect for healthy boundaries. Jon’s vision is not just to build a successful restaurant in the futuer, but to set a new standard for the industry—one that values and uplifts its people, paving the way for a brighter future for both employees and patrons alike.

My ultimate mission is to ignite a revolution in health and wellness within the restaurant industry, and that vision is the heartbeat of Kanned Heat Kitchen. I am driven to lead this change—not just for the businesses, but for the people who make them thrive.

Equally, I am passionate about empowering inner-city youth to uncover their passions and equipping them with the tools and resources to transform those dreams into reality. I believe every young person deserves the chance to rise above challenges and unlock their full potential.

At the same time, I am deeply committed to standing alongside veterans facing homelessness. Their sacrifices deserve respect, dignity, and unwavering support, and I am determined to be part of the solution to this urgent issue.

My work is fueled by an unshakable desire to create lasting change. With compassion as my foundation and a relentless drive for progress, I am dedicated to addressing these challenges head-on and inspiring others to join me in building a better, brighter future.

The great outdoors is my sanctuary—a place where I find inspiration, peace, and endless adventure. Whether I’m diving into the depths while scuba diving, casting a line while fishing, exploring trails while hiking, or gathering around a campfire under the stars, I feel most alive surrounded by nature’s beauty. These moments become even more meaningful when shared with family and friends, creating memories that deepen my connection to the world and the people I love.

Beyond the outdoors, my creativity finds expression in playing guitar and crafting extraordinary meals that bring joy to those I care about. Cooking is not just a skill for me—it’s an act of love and connection, a way to nourish both body and soul.

My passion for the culinary arts has never wavered, and with Kanned Heat Kitchen, I am on a mission to ignite transformative change in the restaurant industry. I am driven to address the systemic challenges that have long plagued the industry, with a steadfast commitment to elevating the well-being and dignity of its workforce. Kanned Heat Kitchen is more than a concept -it’s a movement, a call to action, and a bold vision for a brighter future.
