He also co-hosts two weekly podcasts about everything related to crypto and has future projects in development.

When he isn't living, breathing, or dreaming about improv, Jon enjoys traveling, creating craft cocktails, playing chess, cooking high-end meals, and playing the drums at deafening volumes.f UCBNY's best when he starting out, including Zach Woods, Joe Wengert, Charlie Todd, Will Hines, Michael Delaney, Armando Diaz, Kevin Hines, Chris Gethard & Neil Casey.

Along the way he himself has taught or performed with many comedians who have gone on to recognizable success onscreen. That success is of course not because of him, but no one ever stood up and yelled "Fraud!" If you take his class, we guarantee that you also will not yell "Fraud!" at him.
