Jono grew up in South Africa. He was a boarder at a small farming school in Ixopo (Kwa-Zulu Natal), and was soon exposed to all types of sport. He excelled at most of them but it was his speed and endurance that came to the fore on the athletics track and during x-country events. Sport was in his blood and after a short stint behind a desk doing an admin job, he soon realised that there was more to life.

He started triathlon and duathlon in 1989 after a bet with a friend and was instantly successful going on to represented South Africa as an athlete, coach and Manager of the National Team.
