Built by an Air Force engineer who spent a career depending on gear that couldn't fail, and got tired of foam being the exception.

Jonathon R. Nagyiski is a U.S. Air Force Civil Engineering veteran whose career has focused on building, maintaining, and managing systems where failure is not an option. His experience spans federal infrastructure, real estate, and engineering portfolios across defense, medical, and public-sector environments.
Across deployments, humanitarian engineering missions, and years of federal service, Jonathon saw the same issue repeated: critical equipment is often protected by static systems that do not adapt as requirements change. That gap between readiness and reality is what led to the creation of HoldOver.
HoldOver is the result of an engineering mindset shaped by lifecycle thinking, designing systems that perform from initial deployment through final recovery. The company’s first product, PinnedDown, reflects that philosophy by treating protective cases as engineered systems, not disposable accessories.
