He was immediately consumed by entertainment, education, and growing up in a culture and heritage few have or will ever experience.<br /><br />At 7-years old, Jon began studying the guitar, which groomed his love and knowledge of music. A seed had been planted. At 10, he wrote a story about the Civil War for a 5th grade school project that resulted in the principal transforming it into a small stapled book that was distributed throughout the county school system. Another seed had been planted.<br /><br />Jon graduated school, played among the bands that proliferated the New York City, Long Island and Jersey Shore club scene, opened for touring acts, and by his mid-20s he worked as a session musician.<br /><br />While touring during the 1970s, Jon was also a feature writer for New Jersey’s third largest newspaper, The Herald News, simultaneously allowing him to enjoy the best of his favorite worlds; playing rock & roll...and writing.
