BIO
Jon Black is a lifelong entrepreneur, mentor, and teacher. Soon after graduating from BYU in Human Resource Development, Jon set out to build a training and consulting company. After gaining experience in his industry, Jon saw success in e-commerce and online marketing. Jon soon shifted to consulting and was instrumental in bringing a product to the public that allowed for better judgment in choosing preferred medical practitioners. Jon, with the help of his colleagues, combined their knowledge of healthcare and technology which culminated in a physician directory site called checkMD.com. Other companies that Jon has founded are GetProof.com (a communications and marketing agency) and Terillion (a business software that promotes businesses by collecting, verifying, and publishing customer reviews).
