John Peter Jones studied computer animation and traditional art at Brigham Young University’s Animation Program and helped in the production of three Student Emmy award winning shorts, has enjoyed time working on the kids game, Animal Jam, at Wild Works, and published a young adult sci-fi novel, Animalis.
John Peter Jones (Peter) was born in Rigby, Idaho and grew up roaming the desert country by his house with his siblings. At the age of eight, after breaking his leg while taking on two friends in a game of chicken on the monkey bars, he dictated a short story which his mother dutifully transcribed. It was a horror tragedy that required the best of his monster drawing abilities to illustrate.
Peter is currently twenty nine years old, is happily married to the love of his life, Kathleen Petra Jones, and is working many freelance projects while starring in his own life as a fantastic dad of four crazy kids.
While animation remains his primary focus, Peter runs on a continuous burn from many eclectic passions as displayed in this video audition for NBC’s American Ninja Warrior from 2013.
