Following service, he worked for the BLM in Alaska for four summers while attending college. Jon attended the University of Portland graduating with a degree in Engineering in 1964. While there he met and married Macie and they were together for 64 years. Also in 1964, Jon began working at Bonneville Power Administration where he worked until retirement in 1993.
