Born October 22, 1976, in San Bernardino County, CA, singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jon Foreman moved as a child with his family to Massachusetts and Virginia Beach but was back living in California by junior high school, eventually graduating from Torrey Pines High School in Carmel Valley and then briefly attended UC San Diego. In 1996, along with his brother Tim Foreman on bass and Chad Butler on drums, he formed the band Chin Up, but the trio soon changed the name to Switchfoot (a surfing term). The band recorded a debut LP, 1997's The Legend of Chin, for Charlie Peacock's re:Think imprint.
