Today, Jon is actively involved in the construction and development side of the company, with an emphasis on keeping projects running smoothly, maintaining accountability throughout the building process, and delivering a finished product that meets the standards John Elpers Homes has built its reputation on.
 
What Jon enjoys most about building is the challenge of bringing together all the moving parts required to take a raw piece of ground and turn it into a high-quality finished home. Even more rewarding is seeing a family move in, make the home their own, and knowing the work will be part of their lives for years to come.
