Originally from the Arizona desert, Jon (he/they) is a Brooklyn-based artist. Jon was born a Gemini, and has felt the twins of this mythology within them from as early as they remember. Tall, with a low voice, and usually sporting some sort of facial hair, they do not mind you referring to them as 'him' at all, regardless of how they see themself. With their BA in Acting and Theater Arts from Arizona State, where they studied under Circle Rep’s Founding Artistic Director, Marshall W. Mason, Jon expanded their creative education with an MFA in Creative Writing at Long Island University: Brooklyn Campus. Jon’s artistic career has been varied; as an artist their focus can go from acting to writing, directing, producing, mentoring & teaching young artists, music, and more. They are a recipient of the prestigious Barrymore Award in Acting (ensemble work), which is Philadelphia’s Tony Awards, for the world premier of LITTLE ROCK, playing eleven characters to help tell the story of the Little Rock Nine.
