Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Jon found his passion for music at age 11. He began taking guitar lessons with many of the top teachers in the area including world-renowned guitarist, Al Pitrelli, of Megadeth, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Alice Cooper. It soon became an "obsession" to the point of practicing up to 8 hours a day. Soon after this he was playing professionally full-time, recording for various artists, teaching guitar often six days a week, and performing with many bands all over the Tri-State area.
