Heymann also created "Elevate Jacksonville," a non-profit whose mission is to build long-term, life-changing relationships with urban youth, equipping them to thrive and contribute to their community. Prior to that, Jon was the CEO of the Jacksonville Children's Commission, providing $38 million to support numerous child-serving non-profits.

Heymann holds a Masters Degree in Education from the University of Florida, and has completed graduate work in psychology, and doctoral work at the University of North Florida.
