Jon worked with Michelle to form an NFB chapter when they moved to Las Cruces for a couple of years. Jon supported the Colorado Center for the Blind and enjoyed hearing about our successes and being a part of them.? Jon realized that if it were not for the NFB he would never have obtained his job as a stockbroker, or then move on to work for the state of Colorado for many years with the Department of Regulatory Agencies.
