Jon Hiatt grew up in Sioux Falls, SD attending NAB churches and met his future wife, Stephanie, at Crystal Springs Baptist Camp in Medina, ND when they were 15 years old. He has spent his entire career working as a development professional in higher education as well as assisting his church and other faith-based non-profits with fundraising campaigns. His first exposure to raising money was at the age of ten when he called donors for the phonathon at North American Baptist Seminary where his father, Chuck, was serving as President.

Jon and Stephanie have three boys; Tyler, Caleb, and Lucas. Together they all enjoy being outdoors, eating good food, and visiting Stephanie’s hometown of Bradenton, FL and nearby Anna Maria Island as often as possible.
