Now fully retired from Global Ops, he is devoted to harnessing the full potential of Bruin Books, which he founded in 2009. He also owns and operates a cider apple orchard along the banks of the Willamette River. Jon lives with his family in Eugene, Oregon, USA. He just completed a new translation of QUEST FOR FIRE by J. -H. Rosny - soon to be available from Bruin Books.

Michelle met Jon in while they both worked for Datalogic. As an amateur photographer, she was initially brought on to take photos and the digitize cover art created by Viet Hung's team of talented artists. After collaberating on several books, Michelle took over the cover layout work from Jon. Michelle now resides just outside of Toronto, Canada, and is part of warehouse management for Scholastic, a major book publisher of educational materials. When she's not working her regular job or creating covers for Bruin Books, she knits, like any good Canadian should!
