Linda Hondros Bio

Linda Hondros is known and respected in the Columbus, Ohio business community. Together with her late husband John, they have created and grew many successful businesses including Hondros College of Business, a fully accredited school where more than half a million adult learners have received their education, and Hondros College of Nursing which became the second largest nursing program in Ohio within five years of opening. She has served on as a member of the OhioHealth Board of Directors, the Ohio Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, as well as the YMCA Board of Trustees. The Hondros family owns and farms over 3,000 acres of corn and soybeans in Ohio and has been in the Wagyu business for 10 years, raising Wagyu calves on their Angus herds. Paramount in all their businesses is the drive to research best practices and align with experts and hard workers to ensure each company’s success, and that was why the idea of partnering with this group to form Ohio Wagyu Beef was a natural fit. Through Hondros Farms, the Hondros family also own, and feed Wagyu cattle raised on farms from their Wagyu bulls for Sakura programs. Linda resides in New Albany, Ohio.
