The middle sibling of three, Jon Richardson was born in Salem, and raised by his parents in Dallas, Oregon. Learning from his dad, a tenured union electrician, he quickly witnessed the value of hard work and the fruits and satisfaction of a craft well executed.
Now in Bend, and like his father, Jon is excited about forging a career in the building industry. In particular, he’s excited to hone his own craft in the residential sector as he loves the scale, the fulfillment that comes with owning a job from beginning to end, and the value he brings to his community - building home, shelter, and neighborhoods, one at a time.
When not swinging a hammer, Jon can be found devouring the mountain bike trails of Central Oregon, archery hunting in the Cascades for elk, or casting a fly for brook or rainbow trout. He also recently adopted a 3-year old wire-haired pointer, Carl, who Jon’s currently training to be a bird dog.
