Vont grew up in New Jersey dreaming of hosting his own talk show. He’s been to a dozen live tapings of late-night shows like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. He wasted no time chasing that dream: within a few years of graduating college, he was hosting nights and afternoons and co-hosting and producing mornings.

Vont is usually the one making bold statements or saying what everyone else is thinking. When he’s not stirring the pot on the radio, he’s probably doing it in the kitchen. He and his fiancée, Alyssa, love to cook and hope to open a Puerto Rican food truck one day. Vont also enjoys being outside with his dog, Ava, seeing live stand-up, and buying yet another new pair of sneakers.

He also co-hosts Morning Commute, a college radio show turned podcast, with his friends Justyn Chapman and Justis Gregg.
