Jon Brunson
Jon Brunson has always loved the outdoors. Since he was a
small child, he camped, hunted, and fished with his family. He shot
his first gun at seven, and a bow at eight. And at a young age, he began
telling his parents that one day, he would work solely in the outdoors.
After high school, Jon realized his passions for marketing, and eventually, opened his own marketing firm. Through the development of his firm, he remained an avid hunter and fisher, going out in his spare time, and bringing his family along with him.
Jon noticed a need for a place to store hunting and fishing log notes. He developed a thinking software program for sportsmen called Sportsmanlog.com, the parent site to Huntinglog.com and Fishinglog.com, To this day, the site boast’s a strong 40,000 members, and is still growing.
In 2004, Jon decided it was time to pursue his childhood dream, thus JBO Production, Incorporated was born. His first production was Jon Brunson Outdoors, a national TV show, he hosts with his wife Regina.
