I’m Jon Moldovan, and I’m excited to introduce myself and share a bit about my journey. I was born in Charlotte, NC, and spent a good chunk of my early childhood growing up in Germany before eventually settling down in South Carolina for high school. After graduating from Hillcrest High School, I earned an Associates & Bachelors Degree from Post University, followed by a Master's Degree in Business (MBA) from Clemson University. 

I’ve always felt driven to make a difference in the world from an early age. After the events of 9/11, I felt called to do my part so I joined the US Army’s 82nd Airborne Division. I spent nine incredible years as a paratrooper, which included two overseas tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. My time in the Army came to an unexpected end in 2007 when I was awarded the Purple Heart for injuries I sustained in combat. Over the past 17 years since, I've been fully immersed in the business world where I've soaked up knowledge, experiences, and success like a sponge.

Throughout my career, I’ve found teaching, motivating, and inspiring others, to be most fulfilling. This passion is what ultimately led me to teach at Riverside.  I’m eager to begin my journey as a teacher where I can exponentially make a positive impact on many generations to come. 

On a more personal note, my life revolves around my amazing wife Deanna, my beautiful daughter, Gabriella, and my two Morkie dogs Camo and Hunter.  I’m a die-hard Clemson Football/Soccer fan and enjoy tailgating at the games, grilling, kayaking, fishing, hunting, and all kinds of random outdoor things in my spare time. 

I’m so excited to be part of such an amazing school and can’t wait to get this year started!
