​Jon Steinman is from Nebraska. He's a Taurus. The whole package.

 

Finding him extra loud one morning, his wife realized she could buy some peace and quiet in the house by daring Jon to write a book. It worked . . . sporadically.

 

Jon is a former journalist, having spent nearly 15 years writing for The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Orlando Sentinel, Key West Citizen and Bloomberg News Washington. He left journalism to form his own communications consultancy, where he worked with non-profits and start-ups. He was soon invited to help establish the U.S. Office of Congressional Ethics, the first independent Congressional oversight body in the nation's history, where he served as the founding communications director. After helping the office win reauthorization in the 112th Congress, Jon returned to consulting for the Washington Media Group.

 

Jon speaks no foreign languages, still has trouble with long division, is lactose intolerant and short. He holds no grudges about these things. For the most part. 

 

He lives with his wife and two daughters in Washington DC, a town he loves, and spends most of his free time picking up his dog's poop.
