Jon is American, but he did not vote for George Bush. He speaks German fluently, French proficiently and Spanish terribly. He has shot many commercials, several music videos and a couple of short films. Jon grew up back and forth between the Northeastern United States and Munich Germany. 
Jon studied at the Universität Salzburg and the University of Vermont, before moving to Los Angeles to learn filmmaking.  There he worked under many top directors and cinematographers, before starting out on his own as a director. He began his career in sunny Los Angeles, but now lives in frozen Toronto
(via Montreal.  Long story...  A woman was involved.)
