Since Jon Brooks is taking on the important role of Vice President here at DCS, we asked him to tell us a bit about himself so that our members and friends could get to know him a little better.

Here's the 4-1-1 on J-O-N:

Born and raised in Springfield, Ohio, relocated to Miamisburg in 1988. I currently work as Creative Director for Hafenbrack Marketing, a marketing and advertising agency in downtown Dayton. In addition to overseeing all of the firm's creative output, I get a chance to be very hands-on in design, illustration and art direction. I’ve spent my entire professional career with Hafenbrack and have managed to survive and grow through the many changes our business and Hafenbrack have gone through over the past 23 years. In recent years our team here at Hafenbrack has been fortunate enough to garner awards both locally and nationally, it’s not why we do what we do but it certainly is gratifying to be recognized by your peers in competition with the kind of talent we have in the Dayton area.

I attended SAA from 84-86 during it’s first 2 years of existence, with that foundation plus many years of hard work and determination I’ve been able to make a career doing something that I love. I am a board member and one of the founding parents of a nonprofit group called Roads to Recovery, an organization dedicated to the growth and education of children with Autism, of which my son Alex and our family are afflicted. My biggest achievement thus far is my family, where my job is to be loving husband and father to my wife Melissa and sons Alex and Jacob.
