Biography
General Info
My name is Jason Bock. I was born on 03.09.1971 (which makes me
42
years old), and I was married on 09.20.1997 to Elizabeth Myers:
We have two sons, Hayden and Ryan, and we have two cats, Tweak and Mittens. I'm
5' 11'', 225 pounds and I have big feet (you know what they say about guys with
big feet ... they're great guitar players. I know, I don't understand the analogy
either ...)
Education
I grew up in the wild and wacky town of Oostburg, WI - consequentially, I got my
high school diploma at Oostburg High School. After considering an attempt at becoming
a music star (which resulted in a good-natured intellectual slap in the head from
my parents), I realized that the world of music does not lead to a steady paycheck
unless you have connections and/or you're extremely good. Therefore, I decided to
attend Marquette University. I must have enjoyed it so much (or I just didn't want
to deal with the real world for a while - take your pick), I got a bachelors and
masters degree in electrical engineering.
