Jon Thielen

I'm Jon Thielen from Eden Prairie, Minnesota. I work for Patch.com, an AOL Company. My expertise is start-ups , business development and team building. I have worked in media and marketing for more than 13 years from Citysearch.com, SanDiego.com, and NewCondosOnline.com to Patch.com. As Regional Publisher for Patch in Minnesota I oversee advertising on 26 Patches.

I lead a team of great managers who help businesses get real world results from the digital space through really great video, email, SEO, banner ads, group deals, custom websites and promotions. We are having fun and breaking records in hyperlocal news. So check out the local Patch.com Minnesota destinations, or one of 800 around the USA.

When I'm not in the media space I'm spending time with my wife and four year old daughter Alyssa. I also enjoy hitting the open road on my Harley, playing with my bulldog Harley and hanging with friends on a patio. You'll always see me with a big smile on my face & enjoying life. You have only one shot at it.
