Hi! I'm Jon.
I'm a traveling artist & illustrator, generally a creative person, who is now living in Seattle as a flight attendant. I strive to be a gentle, loving, warm-hearted, curious and optimistic person who has a variety of interests such as healthy cooking, new technology, poetry, board sports, music, and the list goes on (and on, and on). :)

I was born in Southwestern Ontario and have lived around there almost my entire life. I've worked as a nanny for two children in Toronto, worked at a floatation tank center on West Queen West and for an event decorating company in Portland, Oregon. I've most recently lived in San Diego, California and managed an AirBNB while continuing to pursue creative endeavours. :)

Seattle is home currently when I'm not traveling. :)
