Born in New Jersey, Jon is the child of two theater actors. He
later moved to New York State and during the early nineties, after studying and
completing a counselor internship program, given through an accredited private facility, Jon worked in the field of chemical
dependency as a counselor for a city agency.
After graduating with honors from Bryant & Stratton College he moved to Massachusetts where he
has resided for the last sixteen years.
In 1994, shortly after moving to Massachusetts, he was introduced to earth based spirituality exposing
him to a sense of the spiritual and inclusiveness that resonated and spoke to him in a way that he had not
experienced before, yet it somehow felt familiar.
Since
then, Jon continues to practice an earth based spirituality and the combination of that and his recent studies of
comparative religion have served to help form his world and political views; especially, but not limited to, areas concerning
the environment, sustainable agricultural practices, and fair trade.
Ordained through the Universal Life Church Seminary, Jon
works in partnership with his wife Pamela.
