He grew up in Hastings, graduated from St. Cecelia High School and earned a bachelor’s degree from Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. On June 3, 2006, Jon and Rachel Kathleen Hunninghake were united in marriage at St. Matthew Catholic Church, Topeka. The couple met while students at Benedictine and where Jon accepted the position of Director of Transfer Enrollment; a job which he held until the position was eliminated. Proud of his Irish roots, Jon spent a semester nurturing them while studying in Ireland. He enjoyed playing golf and visited the origin of the game, St. Andrews, Scotland. As their family grew Jon spent less time with golf to allow as much time as possible with his family.
