The importance of trusting relationships cannot be understated in the world of business. Throughout Jon’s career he has embraced that mantra by developing those connections at every juncture of his professional journey.

From working over 25 years in the corporate law department for a Fortune 30 company, to creating a successful insurance agency, and then working as the Director of Government Affairs for an international trade association for the modular construction industry, Jon has formed relationships with regulatory officials, state and federal legislators and their staff, leaders of state and federal government agencies, as well as executives from every facet of the modular construction industry. 

Over the past 7 years, he has coordinated over $10 billion in new funding streams for the modular industry throughout North America. This includes creating new government grant programs, creating and implementing affordable housing initiatives to coordinating COVID response efforts and disaster relief housing. He has been involved in writing and passing new city and state legislation, writing modular friendly Requests for Proposals for government agencies, as well as developing and publishing new modular building codes. Jon’s unique background in government affairs, insurance and disaster relief as well as his knowledge of building codes and how they apply to modular construction have all played a role in his success. However, it’s the relationships, trust and collaboration with his contacts that have truly made the difference. 

Looking ahead, Jon envisions continued growth in the modular construction industry. By creating JHS Modular Consulting, he will continue to work with his clients and government officials to develop sound business strategies as they incorporate modular construction into their planning and procurement processes.
