Becoming a sound and lighting engineer wasn’t so much of a career choice as a calling for Jono. He blew his first fuse at age seven, and had so many electric shocks that his hair now stands up naturally.
Un-phased by these setbacks, he has tinkered with lighting and sound equipment ever since. By secondary school, Jono was already rigging light and sound for school balls, events and musicals. Fifteen years on, he has done everything from touring with bands around Australia to managing crews of technicians working on large events.
