Jon Springer, PE

Electrical Engineer

Currently living in Seattle, Washington, Jon Springer is a husband and a father of two. Born and raised in Seattle, he enlisted in the US Coast Guard in October 2001. After a five year tour he enrolled at the University of Washington where he graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, with a focus in renewable energy. He's a professionally licensed electrical engineer in the State of Washington and has served in various roles as a civilian federal employee - first as a Nuclear Engineer with the US Navy, then as an Electrical Engineer with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). He has responded to disasters with USACE after hurricanes in Puerto Rico and Florida and on local USACE flood teams in the Pacific Northwest. He's passionate about helping people protect themselves and progressing technological solutions to combat the causes of our peril. He volunteers on the micro-grid design team for a local non-profit devoted to providing energy access, primarily in rural, remote areas of Africa. When he's not thinking about engineering he loves to travel and spend time with his family. He enjoys practicing several disciplines of martial arts, and when no one is around you might even catch him plucking away at a guitar.
