Jon-Paul Vertuccio is an only child born on April 10th 1986 in West Islip, New York. He was born Jon-Paul Nicholas Vertuccio, in West Islip, New York on April 10, 1986, to MaryAnn Pepe, who worked as a Cosmetologist, and Vincent James Vertuccio, an aviation salesman. He lived most of his life in Jacksonville, Florida spending days with his old Italian grandfather, Alfonso Pepe, watching Film. Little did Jon-Paul know, but that was Gods way of giving him scene study. In pre-school he was Freddy Kruger while all the other children were Power Rangers and Fairies for Halloween... Nothing has really changed since. He attended college at USF for psychology only to drop out in pursuit of his dreams.
