Jon Lamperth

Jon was a career sailor in the United States Navy, retiring in 2019 after 20 years of service. In his most recent position in the Navy, he was the Command Master Chief in USS MOMSEN (DDG 92) stationed in Everett, Washington. Throughout most of his time in the Navy, Jon was assigned to four different warships where he traveled around the globe, from the Cook Inlet to Cartagena, Columbia, and just about everywhere in between. Jon is a Trusty Shellback that crossed the equator just south of Singapore; he’s made multiple passages through the Strait of Gibraltar, Strait of Malacca, Strait of Hormuz, and the Suez Canal; and many port calls in 12 countries. To provide him the competence, confidence, and connections to pivot his career to the business community, Jon is now pursuing his MBA from the UW Foster School of Business. In addition to his obsession with being on the water, he loves doing anything and everything with his wife and two young daughters.
