Executive Team
Jon Jonis, CEO
Jon is originally from Massachusetts and has spent many years overseas. He is a mechanical engineer and is obsessed with how to make things work. He started his professional career in the natural gas processing industry, so when it came to air processing and separating hypoxic from hyperoxic air, it was a natural fit. Jon lives with his wife and son in Boulder, Colorado and enjoys all the outdoor recreation activities that mountain (and high altitude) living has to offer.
Scientific Advisory Board
Peter Hackett, M.D.
Dr. Peter Hackett is a world-renowned high altitude expert and altitude research pioneer. He is a leading authority on altitude illness, high altitude climbing, wilderness medicine, and the effects of altitude on people living and working in the mountains. Dr. Hackett is also a board-certified Emergency Physician. Dr. Hackett has been at the frontier on altitude research, with years of experience in the Himalayas, Denali, South America, and Colorado. Dr. Hackett has authored more than one hundred articles on altitude issues, has edited six books, and is respected internationally for his expertise.
In addition to his extensive clinical and research experience, Dr. Hackett’s recreational activities of high-altitude mountaineering, skiing, and living at altitude have lent him a personal understanding of altitude physiology.
