Jon Crone
Sales Manager
I am a veteran with more than 2 decades of aircraft knowledge. I specialized in Aircraft Maintenance, with the U.S. Air Force. Worked my way through logistics and management to land a position in 2023 with Metal Finishing Company as the Sales Manager. From an early age, my passion for aircraft was there, and it all started with three aircraft, the P-38 Lightning, F4 Phantom II, and every young man wanted to fly the F-14.
Working at Metal Finishing Co allows me to carry forward that passion, by helping our customers complete the parts for the next generation of aircraft.
