Jon Richards,
HR Coordinator
I chose to work at Dogs for Better Lives because I wanted to be surrounded by people with the same passion that I have. Being a part of the DBL team, I work to create a positive and supportive culture for my team and organization as we all strive to better people’s lives. I live by my favorite quote:
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” – John Lennon
Jon lives in Medford, Oregon with his wife Shannon, his 3 children, his new granddaughter, Kahlea – and new granddaughter, Claire, due in April. When not helping DBL employees reach their career goals, Jon enjoys golfing, shooting, traveling and cheering on the Oregon Ducks!
