Who We Are

Jon Strocel worked in community TV in the Fraser Valley way back in the olden days, also known as the 1990s. The best part of the job was meeting lots of cool and interesting people. Upon moving to the Tri-Cities he really missed having that connection with the neat people who make a place home. Luckily with blogs and social media, you don’t need a TV station anymore to connect. Jon is also the owner of upNext Media, a video and media production company. Follow him on Twitter: @jstrocel. |
