Jon was born and raised in Sunny Southern California. He started playing drums when he was 6 years old. Jon played in the "High School" marching band and started his first professional gig when he was 16. At 16, Jon was playing with a club band and he's been playing professionally ever since. Jon played up and down the west coast from Alaska to San Diego, and as far away as Greenland. He made his home in Mesa, AZ in 1993. Moving to Arizona, Jon played in local bands and started with Mogollon in 2002. "I remember when Jennifer and I started dating in 1997, we went to the Tempe Oktoberfest and Mogollon was playing." Jon remembers turning to Jennifer and saying "I am going to play with that band". Five years later (it took a little longer than he thought) he is now with Mogollon.
The love of Jon's life, Jennifer, is truly heaven sent. Without her Jon would never had made it this far. Their beautiful daughter Coralee is four years old and has the music in her blood like her daddy, Jon. Coralee loves to sing with the band and even dabbles a little bit on the drums.
On band days off, Jon works full time at the Southwest Garden Arts (come on down) where he sells and installs fountains. After long hard days... Jon likes to be home and spend time with his girls. Jon loves to cook and watch Jennifer b.... as she cleans up after his mess.
"Ha! I'd like to teach drums in the near future, so if there are any future "Primitive Bashers of Trees" out there, come see me or send me an e-mail." Jon is also looking forward to getting back to his favorite past time, riding a Harley with his ol` lady and going to every location in town for the best pool table! "Ahh, how things have changed, I wouldn't trade it for anything."
Jon's life is good and keeps getting better. "I couldn't ask for
a better group of guys to play with (Mogollon) and look forward to many
years of success with them. See ya at the shows!"
