Jon began his career managing an elite standardbred racehorse breeding operation in Kentucky and Pennsylvania. During this time, he developed a shipping device that changed the logistics of equine reproduction worldwide and started a company that manufactured and sold equine reproduction supplies throughout North America. This ultimately led him to the opportunity to acquire the iconic HR® Lubricating Jelly brand and bring it back to market. Following the acquisition, Jon dedicated himself to successfully bringing HR® Lubricating Jelly back to market while honoring the history of the Holland-Rantos Company, who initially launched HR® Lubricating Jelly in the 1930s. Jon was instrumental in bringing the Surgilube® product under the HR HealthCare product portfolio and building the organization into a diversified medical consumables manufacturer. Mr. Wiesman has turned the day-to-day responsibilities of HR HealthCare over to his sons but remains involved with developing future products. Outside the organization, Jon continues to be involved in the standardbred horseracing business. He enjoys boating on the Chesapeake Bay and spending time with his wife, Leeanna, and his seven grandchildren.
