About:
O.K. I will tell the class a little bit about myself. Name is Jon, grew up in Philly, PA and lived there for 34 years. Driven fast cars since I was 16 and and only have had a few tickets, mostly for speeding, and have been in no accidents. I would say I am a damn good driver if not one of the best. For work I traveled about 20 states in the Northeast since 1993 until 2004. I'm talking Interstates to the little roads that were not on any map. I have been finding places all over the U.S. way before GPS was invented, I used to say "give me a location to find and a map of that state and I will be there in record time." I enjoy driving, especially fast cars, it puts that shitty little grin on my face, you know the one that just creeps up on you when the adrenaline starts flowing and you are just having true fun. I've gone from old pontiacs, to mustangs, to corvettes, love them all. In 2004 moved to Houston, TX to work for my own company and we span from Tampa, FL to Phoenix, AZ and all the states between and a little north. I have also driven alot of these states too. I would love to get on Bullrun the show but if not, I am definitely going to come up with the cash and run with all the rich folk. Maybe not this year, but as soon as possible. As for my teamate Julian, he is a great guy and a good friend. He is also an awesome navigator. This guy is the absolute best driver other than me that I have ever seen. He really has a true feel for vehicles that have 4 wheels. His dad was a mechanic and body man, so Julian has been around cars and mechanics his whole life. Think of all the information he must have absorbed in those years. GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!! GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!
Mission Statement:
To achieve and be the best at anything and everything I do. I am a bit of a perfectionist but I would have no problem bashing up my car a little as long as I am having a good time with it. Life is short and you can't take it with you.
About My Team:
We do not and will not take prisoners.

My Biggest Strength:
At a towering 5' 11", I would have to say my height. Also I am the youngest child of 3, 2 older brothers, the competition level has been pretty high my whole life. It still goes on to this day. So I feel I have this inner drive to always be the best. It has made me a better person. I have learned to overcome at any cost. And I do not back down from anyone or anything. Maybe to a fault sometimes. And, of course, I consider myself a fantastic driver and navigator, due to my past experiences of traveling almost every week to a different city or state for the past 17 years.
