Who is the Video Jester?

Hi! My name is Jon Forsyth, also known as the Video Jester.

I have a hard time figuring out what to tell you "about me." What do want to know? (I like yogurt with rolled oats. I make a great fish chowder. My hat size is XXL -- one size does not fit all....)

The Aragorn Look

The Passport Look

The VJ Look

The Matrix Look

For my video credentials, my videos are probably my best brochure. I've won some cool awards.

My experience comes from a varied background of giving speeches and presentations, taking and altering photographs, playing with computers and other techy things, creating graphic art and strange sculptures, arranging and performing music, and making up bizarre bedtime stories for my children.

I'm a polypreneur with lots of fingers in lots of pies. I've worked in "real companies" (with pay stubs and 401Ks and human resource departments), but I much prefer independence.

I've taught university students and ballroom dancers, junior high choristers and marketing analysts. I've consulted, conducted, composed and choreographed.

My education includes fatherhood (5 kids) and an MBA (Wharton), both valuable and challenging places of learning. I enthusiastically practice frugality, composting, and staying up past my bedtime.

I care most about strengthening my family, improving the world, and creating things of value and beauty. I like to help.

Dance as if no one's watching,
Cry and you cry alone,
This little piggy had roast beef,
And so the poor dog had none.
