Who?

Whether it’s by directing commercials and music videos or by leading digital creative initiatives for agencies around the country, Jonathan tends to keep his dance card full. When he’s not working, you can find the world-travelled musician making his own films, serving on the Board of Directors of an arts foundation, acting as a consultant for his wife’s e-retailer, or relaxing in the beer bar he co-founded. Past adventures include Experience Design Director of Phenomblue, BA’s in advertising and graphic design and professional certification from UCLA in screenwriting. A borderline unhealthy obsession with Bruce Wayne has the fortunate side effect of enabling him to be in exactly one zillion places at once.
