I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm Jon. I have two daughters, Kelsey (age 14) and Maddie (age 12) who are my life. I own a small music instrument retail and repair shop in Anna, IL. I also have a 24-track recording rig in my shop that I spend as much time with as I can. Oddly (or maybe not, I don't know), I enjoy recording other people's songs and helping them create music maybe even more than I enjoy recording myself. Check out Hope For The Dying and Ben Cripps here on Myspace for some tunes I had a hand in recording. I believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no man can gain eternal life except through Him. I play guitar, I'd like to be a better player than I am, but probably ANY guitar player would say that. I'm single now, not really looking for anyone, although I don't guess I'm necessarily opposed to that, either, if it were to happen. I have learned to be happy with who I am, so I don't necessarily need anyone else to make me happy. I have trust issues, it's a long story, but this is another part of the reason I'm not necessarily looking for someone else, too. I am extremely loyal to my kids and to my friends, and I won't let ANYTHING (or anyone) take away from my time with my kids. Probably half of my friends are half my age or slightly less, even. I didn't actually plan it that way, though, it just sort of worked out like that.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, the apostle Paul, and some other biblical figures, and, one day, I expect I will get to meet them. What a day that will be! :) I love meeting new people and making friends! Bruce Cockburn and Mike Peters (of The Alarm), two of my favorite songwriters.
