A Power Marketing team member since May of 2000, Jon leads the force by overseeing every project in the office. He works closely with clients to ensure that they not only receive what they asked, but that each job is completed efficiently and effectively. "It's really fun and rewarding taking an idea and turning it into something that helps our clients," he says. "It's also the kind of job where it's impossible to get bored because we always have to keep on our toes and learn something new each day."

In 1998, Jon interned with Power Marketing and went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude from Shepherd University. He became a MIRM (Master in Residential Marketing) in 2006, the most prestigious designation given by the Institute of Residential Marketing and the top-level achievement for professionals in new home marketing.

Growing up overseas in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the Philippines instilled a global perspective and an appreciation for culture in Jon, as well as a passion for "the beautiful game" of soccer and the beach. He married his beautiful wife Jenn in May of 2005, and they enjoy traveling to Ocean City, Md., six or seven times a year — as does their dog, Marley.

Matt began working at Power Marketing in May 2012. Matt serves as accountant responsible for receivable and billing, payroll processing, general ledger maintenance, asset and liability account reconciliation, financial statement preparation and analysis, and other special projects. “What I like most about my job are the numbers. They are very reliable, never call in sick and don’t mind the least being crunched,” Matt jokes.

As a CPA with a degree from College of William & Mary, Matt began his accounting career at Marriott Corporation as an internal auditor and audit manager, then spent a number of years as controller first for a small catering company in Arlington, Va., then for Masci Restaurants, a Roy Rogers franchisee in Montgomery County.

Matt lives on a five-acre property in West Virginia with his first wife, second dog, stray cat, rabbits, groundhogs and skunks that consider him to be the squatter. Matt enjoys mowing grass, shoveling snow and photography (though not necessarily in that order). He also enjoys playing the guitar badly, kayaking, sweating on a treadmill, visiting Virginia wineries and vacationing in Europe.

Krista joined the Power Marketing team in September 2012. As a communications specialist, Krista is responsible for generating press releases, blog posts, traditional media, web and ad copy, social media updates, SEO campaigns and more for Power Marketing’s clients.

A year later, she packed up and headed back west to join Hagerstown’s RidgeRunner Publishing as assistant editor for two years before joining Power Marketing.

Outside of work, Krista enjoys spoiling (and spooning) her beagle, Gracie May, laughing hysterically with friends and family, impatiently waiting for her favorite magazines to arrive in the mail, singing out of key while driving and prowling the internet for the perfect puns.
