Jon is a South Florida native who initially made the move from Broward County to Gainesville back in 2001.
Somewhere in the course of completing two degrees at UF, Gainesville became home. Jon is a former Rock 104 DJ, and a self-described "radio guy." Slightly more recently, he spent four years working in news radio in Washington, DC. That distance didn't stop Jon and his wife from doing a "destination wedding" in Gainesville, getting married at the base of Century Tower in 2014. The next year the Levys returned to North Central Florida more permanently as Jon started his TV20 career. In his free time, Jon changes diapers and spends too much time thinking about the Chicago Bears.
