About Jonathan
Jonathan Vanderah was born on October 30, 1991. It was a cold Trick-Or-Treat night where his sisters, Michelle and Melissa, were collecting candy in an ice storm. Jon has since grown up to be the awesome person you know today, and his journey you will find out in later sections. His dad, Steve, is a Realtor at Iowa Realty and like to cover up the fact that he still works at HyVee on night stock. Jon's mother, Lori, works at Delta Dental of Iowa as a claims specialist. He has two older sisters, Michelle and Melissa. Michelle has graduated from the University of Northern Iowa twice, once as an Anthropology major and the other as a French Teaching major. She is still finishing up some remaining classes and working at UNI's book store. Melissa just graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in Psychology and Criminology, and is also a former ResNet employee. Jonathan also has a younger brother, Nicholas, who is still a student at Ankeny High School.

Schooling and Such in Ankeny
Jon started his educational journey in the Ankeny Community School District in Ankeny, IA. He graduated there in 2010 and managed to have 39 college credit hours done in his stay at Ankeny High School. In addition to his education, Jonathan also was involved in Show Choir, Baseball, and Basketball. He managed to be in the top 15% of his class and be on the Honor Roll every year except for the second semester of his Junior year (AP US History is a hard class). In addition to all this, Jonathan was also involved in some of the schools musicals. His Junior year he was merely an extra in Guys and Dolls, but his Senior year he was the main attraction in the show A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. In the show he played Gymnasia, the fat whore, and was the most humorous part in the slap stick, sexually oriented comedy. A bit risque for a high school production, Jon managed to pull off playing a female escort with out crossing the line or emotionally scarring the audience, but instead they couldn't stop laughing every time he stepped on stage (especially his friends Ryan and Cody). The picture on the right also made the front page of the Ankeny Press Citizen, and made several people's picture boards at their graduation parties (Jon's wasn't one of them).

What's he up to now?
Now Jonathan is currently at the University of Northern Iowa, studying the field of Actuarial Sciences. Well, at least he was until this year, when he decided to switch to Communications with an emphasis in Electronic Media. He chose this for his love of music and giving him the opportunity to learn about the production aspects of music. This will give him a chance to pursue a possible career as an artist and/or producer, while having a wide variety of options for jobs while he gets that going. In his free time, Jon likes to play XBOX (mainly NCAA Football, Halo, Call of Duty, and Madden), hang with friends, and do anything possible to avoid his homework. Occasionally he'll do his homework while watching ESPN and Comedy Central on T.V., or while watching 27 Dresses or Role Models. He also loves music. He'll listen to anything, but prefers the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys. Also a wannabe (joke intended) model train enthusiast. He also loves lounging around in Cole and Jason's room, playing XBOX, League of Legends, or changing Cole's background on his desktop to a Disney Princess or Iowa Hawkeyes theme (he's not so cool and likes those stupid Cornhuskers). Jon and some of his floor mates also created an "entertainment" group, DPBE, where they make comedic music videos to popular songs. They are currently looking to expand there creative horizons and diversify their productions. They are looking to make some short movies and make some more serious, dramatic videos in addition to their white-boys-trying-to-dance videos they currently produce. Jonathan is the primary founder and also the talent, and he also does the choreography. Look for DPBE to start producing some original music starring Jon as a rapper/singer under the stage name JVandy sometime either late Fall 2011 or Spring 2012.

What Would Jon Do If He Was Bored and/or Procrastinating?
If you haven't noticed, Jon here loves his XBOX and gives it plenty of attention, but that's not all he does. Jon also loves watching sports. He prefers to watch the Chicago Cubs and the Iowa Hawkeyes, but if they aren't playing he'll turn on ESPN. He'll also tune in to his playlists he made on his Spotify account (check it out, it's the best thing to happens to music since the major chord(music joke)). Jonathan also loves going to the WRC to pwn some n00bs at Basketball. Jon also loves running slowly on the beach with his shirt off in red lifeguard shorts (A la Baywatch). He also loves walking through Campbell Hall and knocking on the door of and/or entering random rooms making new Friends. He also works on materials for DPBE
