Hi, Jon here, web marketing and advertising guy, the founder of MediaStarz.co.uk and a few other things. I have several interests on the go at once, but love to kick back with family, friends, live music and games/gadgets, supporting West Ham is my rollercoaster and getting a chance to play softball is always worth it.
