Executive Vice President — Jon Davidi
Shalom peeps! My name is right above your eyes and my position is slightly to the left of it. I’m super stoked to be VP this year and am excited to help JSU reach new heights. I’m in my second year at SDSU and I was born and raised in Los Angeles. Both of my parents are from Iran and my sisters were all born in Israel so I’ve got plenty of culture in me. Plus, I’m on the improv team here at state so I’m certifiably funny. Feel free to send me an email, follow me on twitter (@DavidiDrtyMoney), or find me on facebook!
