Jon has been a fan of Chief Brunacini since he was eight years old (obviously). His dad was a forest ranger and he grew up in the mountains of Idaho. His friends refer to him as a Cro Mangon Slob of sorts. He is rarely clean, can't cook, can't change his own oil, or do anything halfway productive around the house. However, he is a student of Firemanship, and loves the culture, the people, and even the ambulances. Jon is a career Fireman in McCall, Idaho with his C-shift brothers, and lives in the area with his lovely wife Amelia.
