Also known as Hippie Jonny around the office, a name given to him by his Rock N More instructors as a teenager, Jon has been part of the Rock N More family for many years now. First as a student, then an instructor from 2015-2019. He has come back to teach guitar, bass, drum, and rockology classes with one goal: To ensure that the future generation of rock-doers are of the highest quality.

Jon studied music theory at Green River College, then graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle with a degree in Audio Production. Jon has worked in the Greater Seattle area recording, producing, running sound, and playing music; which even includes recording projects for fellow RnM teachers Carlos & Allison for their band Screens, and Dace & Arielle’s band The Feels. Oh, and you know those really awesome advertisements you hear in stores? Jon’s day job is voice-over editing and programming those in major stores around the world… you’ve probably heard his work before and immediately tuned it out.

Over the last few years Jon has focused on building his home recording studio as well as producing his own solo music project. He is an absolute gear and synth nerd, evening naming his cat Juno after his favorite 80s synthesizer.
