Become A Concierge
Although Jon has lived, worked, traveled, and studied across much of
western Europe and Canada, he always comes home to Los Angeles. "I was
born at Queen of Angeles Hospital. How much more of an Angelino can you
get? I love L.A. On my mother's side, I'm a Russian Jew. My father was
an Irish Catholic. I'm the product of the fusion of diverse cultures,
just like Los Angeles!"After graduating with a Theatre Arts degree with a minor in English from
Loyola Marymount University, he took a job as a tour guide in the
Canadian Rockies. Being a tour guide for a fresh group of fifty retired
New York Jewish travelers every two weeks for the next seven years
taught Jon how to be a mother, father, coach, referee, salesman, and
activity planner. In other words, this proved to be perfect training for
his career as a residential concierge. Every time he brought his group
into a new hotel, he'd get to meet someone called "the concierge." "I
always thought, hey, that seems like a pretty neat job to have someday.
Becoming an expert on the city and getting paid to make people happy!"
Little did he imagine…
Many jobs later, he finally landed a job in the Concierge Department at
Nordstrom in the Westside Pavilion. Two and a half years later, he took a
position as a Concierge/Post Commander of Security at an office
building in Beverly Hills. Then he was off to a celebrity-filled
apartment community in Studio City for a couple of years until he was
hired away to become the Concierge of three luxury apartment complexes
in downtown.
