Jon Nungesser
Jon joined the station in September 2012 and is the producer for Folk Alley. He loves all the things he gets to do at the station; from meeting up-and-coming bands to recording concerts for the stream, every day is a new adventure.
Jon relocated from Buffalo, NY where he worked as a producer for a startup website featuring local musicians and stories of the region. He also worked in the banking sector for a number of years. Coming back to Northeast Ohio is somewhat of a homecoming for Jon as he grew up in Medina.
Jon graduated from the State University of New York at Fredonia with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications in 2009. He currently lives in Ravenna with his wife, Danielle. He is an avid Cleveland sports fan (Browns, Indians) and also enjoys photography, traveling, cooking, record collecting and playing his guitar.
