Mr. PHS

So my little brother Jon is a contestant in Mr. PHS which is being held this Thursday. He asked me to write his bio which I share below. Talking with him brought back some good memories of that fateful night 12 years ago.........

Sorry, I passed out after realizing how along ago we were in high school. I'm better now...Here's the bio:

To know Jon Duerden is to know a young man who loves animals, children, serving the elderly, giving money to charities, laughing and crying, eating and drinking, speaking French, singing to sad people, dancing for angry people, and donating non-essential organs. Once when asked about his grandest goal in life he replied, “penmanship”. He is a world renowned expert on roast beef and receives frequent invitations from universities across the country to lecture on the topic. The modern dance troupe he founded, Dancetastic!, has won numerous awards and is the topic of an upcoming documentary entitled Watch Out! Jon Can Dance. He also plays a lot of instruments, too numerous to mention here, but let’s just say it’s way more than one. Jon especially loves white water rafting, a sport he invented, on the Main Salmon River in Idaho, which he built for his Eagle Project. If he has the honor of being chosen as the next Mr. PHS, he plans to accept.
