About My First Life
All time favorite quote:
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
– E. B. White, author of Charlotte's Web
Favorite original line of my own:
'Tis better to be a smart one than a dumb one...
Outside of SL, my interests include reading, traveling, vintage cars and airplanes, museums, most anything Star Wars, and POGO.com games. I am a lifetime lover of learning, and am rarely bored.
Native of Rochester, New York, and have lived in the Dallas, Detroit, St. Louis, and Chicago metro areas; currently living in South Bend, Indiana.

| Name: |
Jon |
| Status: |
Divorced |
| Orientation: |
Straight |
| Birthday: |
Nov 3, 1955 |
| Occupation: |
Independent Contractor |
| What I Love: |
Good food and drink (Martini's and a good Shiraz come to mind) & company; traveling; exploring new places, ideas and books; the month of August; the smell of freshly cut grass; and the sound of cicada's. Oh, yeah – can't forget Second Life! |
| What I Hate: |
Hate's a pretty strong word, but if anything approach's that it's people who are intentionally ignorant, prejudiced and judgmental. Save that for somebody who cares. Having Brussels sprouts and boredom forced upon me doesn't do much for me, either... |

About My Second Life
For me, SL is a place to explore, especially yourself – your interests, potentials and fantasies. The opportunities to do so here are limitless, and this is an incredible place to discover some new things about yourself.
I've had a lot of fun exploring SL as a journalist; currently with Retropolitan Magazine, and previously for SL Reports and MetaNetwork News.
As a carryover of my RL, I've been an instructor for the Investment Education Team (IET), and have taught the Stocks 101 class in-world. I've also become a stockbroker as a "hobby within the hobby," and created a financial holding company called Digital Financial Holdings, which is now traded on the SL Capital Exchange (DFH). Even with a couple of LL-inflicted financial crises, we're still profitable, and growing.
For fun, I like going to clubs and dancing, and swim as a merman. I also explore a lot, to get ideas for my writing, as well as for the house I've modified and the parcel I'm terraforming.
I know, I know, get off my duff, and post some pictures, LOL!
