Jonathan Perry was born and raised in the Midwest (Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan). Eleven of these years were spent in the small town of Ironwood, Michigan, where he still has family. Ironwood is in the west corner of the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan and this means he is part yooper (a slang word to describe people from the UP) and proud of it.
After living in 3 different states and 6 different towns before graduating with a marketing degree from Eastern Illinois University (1990), it seems he has still not stopped moving. To date he has lived in 6 different states, now residing in War
