When not working or volunteering his time, he loves to be on a bike. In 2013, he became certified and teaches cycling classes at the University of Idaho Recreation Center. He has been married for over 32 years to the former Sharon Jordan of Moscow. They have three children- Kelly Kimberling Gilder who is the Farmers Agent in Rathdrum, Idaho, Sara Kimberling who moved to Kearney, Nebraska in April of 2014 to become a buyer for The Buckle clothing stores, and Emma who is in her second year at the University of Idaho. At this point, Emma intends to earn a degree in Psychology and then follow that up by becoming a Registered Nurse.
Jon could not be more excited about the upcoming runway realignment and expansion project and what it will do to benefit our communities and universities.
