Jon – After Divorce – Dating and Life of a Single Man

Jonathan Westfal Contributing Editor

Jon is an entrepreneur, an internationally recognized designer and a freelance writer with 20 years of experience in the communications industry. Throughout his professional career, he has assisted powerhouse global companies like Rubbermaid Corporation, Eastman Kodak Company, Mobil, Xerox Corporation and Bausch & Lomb (among many others) in taking their brands to market.

A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, his formal training is in the area of Graphic Design, but as polymaths often will, he delves into several disciplines including; illustration, technical & creative writing, and the fine art of new business development. A powerful and persuasive public speaker, his passion is both contagious and inspiring. “Having been through 2 marriages and divorces by the age of 38, I have witnessed many facets of the legal system and it’s inherent prejudices and shortcomings in regards to family law. I can only hope that by sharing my experiences—both legally and emotionally, I can help others who may be experiencing similar challenges.”
Now a devoted, single father of 4 kids, his interests are driven by a desire to leave a better world for his children in the pursuit of a higher purpose. As a self-proclaimed “jack of all trades”, his hobbies are widely varied, but almost all are family-centric. In their free time, you will likely find them out running with the family dog, biking, kayaking, camping, fishing, trail riding or simply hiking in the woods around their home.

Volunteering and activism are at the core of their family values and is reflected in their daily lives. Jon regularly demonstrates this dedication by donating his time and talents to youth groups, public schools and children’s charitable organizations each year, as well as spearheading the marketing efforts of his church to increase membership. A dedicated runner, student of the “sweet science” of boxing, a “fitness nut” and triathlon hopeful, he also strives to inspire healthy lifestyle choices in those around him.

In addition to a managing partnership at a successful marketing firm in New York and his collaborative efforts with Adam’s Wedding Dress and other online communities, he is also currently working on a book for publication and learning to properly prepare Grilled Tilapia with Mango Salsa for 5.
