Jon hates writing about himself in the third person, but here he'll do it anyway. Jon is a lover and a fighter. Jon grew up in Ardmore on the repugnant Philadelphia Main Line and still lives there now, but don't be confused because Jon loves Philadelphia and will fight anyone that talks shit about the City of Brotherly Love.

For years, beginning in high school and through college, Jon released his musical energy to the atmosphere through the airwaves of WHHS and WRBC. His mainstay radio show entitled Traditional Noise was pretty much free-form and coursed through phases of punk, ska, indie rock, jazz, electronica and hip-hop.

Four years of Maine winters, where he met the rest of these fools, did little to harden Jon. Rather it was a year spent in chilling rains wrangling sheep on soft British turf that chaffed his milky skin and added perma-dirt to his hands.
