John Ondo is a Filmmaker & Television Producer who specializes in documentaries. He began his career in television in 1982 first volunteering at a local viewer-supported television station WTLW-TV. As a Director and Producer at the aggressive station, he developed his skills creating original programs in News, Sports and Documentaries. His love for live television thrust him into producing and on-air reporting. He was nominated for two Emmys while in Lima.

Wanting to return to his work in documentaries, in 2008 he founded his production company Ondo Media, which would specialize in telling the stories of small town America.
