Jonathan L Isaacson

Jon Isaacson is an author from Tacoma, Washington (The Grit City). Known as The Intentional Restorer, he has written for several trade publications including a monthly column for Restoration and Remediation Magazine (R&R) by the same name.

He published his first book, Be Intentional: Estimating, in 2020. This book is written to help property restoration professionals write better estimates, leading to better outcomes, during the insurance claims process. While the content of this book is designed to directly impact the water and fire damage estimator, the principles in this book extend to the skilled trades as a whole. Perspectives from this book will help professionals who want to grow their own career as well as managers and owners who want to develop their teams.

Jon's second book, Be Intentional: Culture, is a collaborative work with several talented co-authors discussing how the small things either enhance or undermine your efforts to build a thriving workplace culture. Written from the perspective of real world leaders sharing their own experiences, this book provides actionable insights for professionals at every level and in any organization.
