Jon joined AFI in 1992 after graduating from Taylor University. He ultimately focused on expanding the product offering and new channels of distribution, but his experience with the company extends to the very beginning of its manufacturing and converting activities, having collaborated with Bob Rudolph (Jon's dad) to develop the business plan. His nearly 15 years of industry experience and extensive knowledge of materials, processes and industry standards position him well to lead the next phase of Action Fabricator’s growth.
