Jon grew up mostly in Wilmington, DE.  He graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1982 and determined soon after that the Navy would not be a career.  True to his word, he retired after only 27 1/2 years of service with the rank of Captain.  Along the way he earned master’s degrees from The George Washington University (Information Systems Management) and The US Army War College (Strategic Studies), neither of which have much applicability to what he now does for a living.  Though he is an avid triathlete, Jon has sworn it off for a few years in favor of less time-consuming fitness activities to build the Dog is Good business.  He has been married to (his first wife) Gila for 23 years.

Gila is a product of northern Virginia and she graduated from Virginia Tech University in 1987.  When she bought Jon with her Visa card at a bid for bachelors auction in 1988 (true story), it effectively ended her teaching career.  They married and proceeded to move about every 2 years until 2006 when they were able to finally settle in sunny Seal Beach, CA.  Still, in addition to supporting a stressful navy lifestyle, she always had some sort of sales gig going on.  After she convinced Jon to adopt a too-young Dalmatian puppy, Gila learned she really liked dogs and decided to pursue a career as a dog trainer.  She immersed herself in the study and application of the science of canine behavior and quickly became the go-to dog trainer wherever she moved (much to the disappointment of the third human Kurtz family member, 15 year old daughter Abby).  A recurring theme with Gila is that “anything worth doing is worth overdoing.”
