ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Born in San Francisco, CA and raised in Oakland and the East Bay, Jon's hilarious, nonfiction humor style was honed by creatively sourcing humor through numerous adversities. He received his M.A. from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and began publishing personal humor essays shortly thereafter. He later created the State of Anxiety website (www.StateofAnxiety.com) as a means of helping others who struggle with anxiety, or for whom anxiety becomes an acute side effect of a life event. Jon's sophomore book, "Breaking-Up Badly" (in production), started as a humor essay about navigating his own worst breakup in the absence of relatable advice available anywhere for men. He soon discovered an overwhelming need to provide more. More disruptive counsel. More humor. And, more familiarity related to the visceral pain associated with a breakup or divorce for men. A highlight of Jon's prose is his uniquely comical, self-deprecating voice unseen elsewhere. Jon currently splits his time between the SF Bay Area and Central Coast of California.
