Welcome:
Jonas Helbert

Jonas was born and raised right here in Beavercreek. Graduated
Beavercreek in 2005. And went on to earn his bachelors in
business administration from Tiffin University. He started in
banking and mortgage lending, but he always wanted to own his
own business. After much research he discovered it would
require a large amount of financial investment to start a
business. So he found something that just required a lot of
hustle and salesmanship. He became a realtor with the goal of
owning his own brokerage. He started in 2016 and in 2018 he
started Street Light Realty, located in Washington Township. He
has 16 agents and he owns several rental properties. He has two
hobbies, the first is hunting. He likes squirrel, turkey and
deer hunting. Ask him about getting enough squirrels to make
squirrel street tacos. He has a place in Kentucky that he likes
to hunt. He also likes American history so one of his favorite
places he has been is Boston. His other hobby is playing
guitar, but he says he isn’t very good. He enjoys playing
everything from metal to bluegrass, as long as it’s a good
guitar part. Jonas is a member of the Beavercreek Chamber.
He is married to Miranda for 15 years now and they have twin 14
year olds, Theodore and Regan. His Rotary sponsor is Beth
Handwerker and Beth will affix his Pin.
