BIOGRAPHY:

     Jon is an energetic party kid who grew up in the Washington DC Metro Area and was primarily exposed to hip-hop and urban underground culture thru friends and WPGC 95.5FM the largest urban radio station south of NYC. Growing up in a neighborhood with kids who were mostly involved in the skateboarding community, he began to meet kids involved in the DC Graf scene. It would be these Graf kids who would later introduce Jon to the underground party culture.
     Attending his first warehouse party around late 1992 he immediately gained an interest in the early DC electronic music culture and started attending as many underground events as possible. It was at this time he first heard Acid house, while it was not his preferred style of music it did get him to listen to more of the UK sound. It was not until sometime in the summer of 1994, at a party in southern Virginia, that he first heard hardcore. The banging bass lines and the soaring pianos had him hooked.
     By the time Jon was in High School he was sneaking out at least one night a week to hit up a party. Jon gained a strong interest in the Jamaican Reggae culture through his next door neighbor Luchinvar while living in Takoma Park, MD. Luchi's father Lloyd was a former Sound System DJ in Kingston and would play his music proudly whenever the chance arose.
     It was around the summer of 1995 that Jon with his family and several boxes of stuff moved to Maine. Being put in a town he had only visited on vacation put an end to his regular partying. It was not until he met several of the DJs from WRBC 91.5FM (Bates College Radio) that he first found out about the local Maine scene. However, the parties he attended in Maine bore little resemblance to the scene he was used to; being more rock oriented, rather than hip-hop, freestyle and house oriented.

New England Hardcore logo, sadly a now defunct crew.
     While vacationing in Athens, Greece in 1996, he walked into a three story Virgin Megastore and picked up his first hardcore compilation the three CD This is Hardcore set mixed by DJ Vibes; this began his addiction to collecting hardcore records. Upon his return to the United States he moved to northern New England.
     The parties he attended in Maine bore little resemblance to the scene he was used to. It was not until a party in March of 2000 called "Mr. Wendal" that he first saw some of the various New England Hardcore DJ's play the tunes he knew and loved that he had not heard played out since his move.
     The following year in the early spring of 2001, he went to the UK on vacation. Visiting well known hardcore shops like Wax City, Elite Records, and Blackmarket Records, it is no wonder he returned home with two large bags full of hardcore vinyl and an empty wallet. Sadly Elite Records is no longer in business. After returning home he began to spin. Spending long hours as frequently as he could, he began to grasp the concept of beatmatching and scratching. A few years later and quite a bit poorer, he has amassed enough vinyl to make it impossible to find what he wants when he needs it...

A partial list of my vinyl – My electronic record collection

RÉSUMÉ:

My résumé is located here. I am currently looking for a web design job or network administration / IT position, if you know of something please post a link in my discussion forum. It has been absolutely impossible for me to find a position within the field while living in Maine. I am willing to relocate anywhere, and I do mean anywhere.
