Jon Valentin spent half his childhood in chilly Kalamazoo, Michigan before moving to rural Carrollton, Illinois in 2006. As the son of a pastor, Jon spent all of his childhood in some form of ministry.  After graduating high school, Jon attended Pensacola Christian College where he received his bachelors of science in both management and marketing before subsequently receiving his Masters of Business Administration. After graduation, Jon moved with his wife to a town just outside of Nashville, Tennessee where he resides today. During college, the Lord gave Jon an opportunity to work for a technology start-up company called Link Labs. After interning with the company, Jon was hired full-time as their account manager before being promoted to Regional Business Development Manager. After two years at Link Labs, Jon felt the Lord calling him into Christian education and resigned from Link Labs before being hired full-time at Hendersonville Christian Academy where he works today.  In his free time, Jon enjoys reading, writing, and hiking with his wife and Bernedoodle, Bentley.
