jon
Founder
Jon is a seasoned professional with an extensive background in security and close protection, as well as in the training of both military and civilian personnel across many countries and crisis regions. With expertise as an instructor in various tactical and military subjects, Jon arrived in Ukraine in 2022 to support the Ukrainian military by providing intensive training in critical areas. While training numerous units, he leveraged his network to connect resources, contacts, and services to support military needs more effectively and facilitate a broader support system for Ukraine. This experience led him to establish a foundation aimed at providing sustainable assistance to the units he trained. In addition to his military contributions, Jon also plays a vital role in coordinating humanitarian aid, ensuring that essential supplies, including food, medicine, and clothing, reach internally displaced refugees and animal shelters across the region.
