Jon Cook is a senior at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI pursuing a double major in Finance and Accounting.

Despite having spent the past 4 years studying Accounting, Jon promises he is more exciting than your stereotypical accountant. Outside of class and homework, Jon has developed the Technology Showcase on Grand Valley's campus. It is a space that allows students to interact with cutting edge technologies like the Microsoft HoloLens, HTC Vive, 3D printers and many more. Jonathan's current project is an introduction to Design Thinking, active citizenship and team building that will be rolled out to the 4,500+ incoming freshman that Grand Valley receives each year. 

This past summer, Jonathan worked with Seamless, an Internet of Things Accelerator, to help six teams from around the world commercialize their products. 

Jonathan is a full-time intern with Google instead of a full time student at Grand Valley. He plans to return next year to finish his degree, although plans are subject to change… especially with a brand new incubator in West Michigan that could build upon his experiences gained through his startup, FitFrames LLC.
