Jon Keagle:  

Living out in the Boston, MA area and part owner in a plastic injection molding company. I have spent most of my active career with industrial polymer companies such as Raychem, Dupont and the like so thought I would try running a smaller company and truly enjoy what would seem to most as a boring experience.. But the start of it all was the family move to Horseheads from Painted Post when I was entering the second grade.

I then went to Glen Springs Academy after a recruiter for the school watched me play a few pick up games of basketball at the infamous Neighborhood House in Elmira. Since Coach Gushue cut me from the HHDS basketball squad; for good reason as I most likely had no clue as to what repsonsibility was at that time..I went off to Glen Springs in Watkins Glen, NY and played with some of the greatest street ballers of all time. Guys like Fly Williams,Freddy Lee, Craig Smoak, Michael Moore and on and on. I was offered a couple of rides at Wake Forest and Austin Peay but.. I pulled a 13 in the military draft my senior year so off to the Air Force; Pararescue/ ParaJumper and did an unwanted tour in Viet Nam running down aircraft and personnel recoveries into not so good territories. After that, I came back to attend Corning...Expand for more
