Infancy
Born on December 18, 1985, Jon Allen Hanson was brought to the world via Caesarean section. His mother, Marsha LeRae Hanson (maiden name: Jenson), and father, Arlen Hanson, cared for this newborn with love. At an early age, his parents divorced and was put under care of his mother, Marsha.

Early Childhood
As a toddler, Jon was very active. At bed times, his mother would read him childrens' books. Eventually, from constant storytelling, he had taught himself to read and one night walked out to his mother, sat down and began to read Green Eggs and Ham. Jon started venturing outside more around the age of five. But with his endeavors, it brought his vulnerabilities out into the open. He was harrassed by the youth of neighboring apartments. A couple of times, assaulted and authorities were forced to be called.

A Living Hell
At age 7, a new man had come into his mother's life, and soon married. At first, life was okay, had a house built in the country, and freindly neighbors. Bruce Pederson, loved to hunt, watch football, and drink beer. In fact, after returning from work, several beers, which may have attributed to the problems soon to come. All of a sudden, Bruce's mask started to peel and Jon's bright, social life began to crumble. Every little thing he did seemed to be wrong to the scornful step-father. Arguments would unfold between Jon's mother and Bruce, nightly. As Jon grew in this hell, he found tranquility in listening to Rock and Heavy Metal; relating many of the artists' lyrics to his life. Also, his other escapes were seeking refuge at his best freind, Kyle Brown's house, and every other weekend visitation with his father, Arlen. The broken home was swirling out of control and something had to be done. In early 2002, at the age of 16, the Hell was finally frozen over and brought crashing down when Marsha divorced Bruce. Now in a state of depression, Jon's mother was very explosive and unstable. The family moved to an apartment and began to repair their torn emotions.
