Jon began working at Firaxis in February 2005 as a contractor, and we snatched him up in January 2006 as a full-time game designer. He has said that his most exciting career accomplishment was "helping to make Civilization IV, one of the most successful PC games ever! It's rare to ever be able to work on such a critically acclaimed and successful franchise in one's career, let alone your first year". Jon has always had a love for history, programming, and making strategy games. He says that he's now living all the things he aspired to do as a child - at his dream job! Jon has a degree in History from Towson University; and spends his free time playing Civilization games, reading, and traveling.
