​Jonathan lives in the nooks of Europe where he moonlights as a forensic cryptographer in avian and maritime litigation.

In his younger years, Jonathan was a bodybuilder, boxer, and nomadic traveler. He spent winters harvesting seaweed in Ireland, summers giving free hugs in Spain, and autumns flipping pancakes in Denmark. He loves riding trains and wondering about the lives unfolding outside the window. His biggest passions are learning and travel, and he's ventured to sixty countries via hitching, couch surfing, and working exchanges. In his spare time he makes handcrafted soap and thrives on chips and salsa, workouts, organics, medicinal herbs, artwork, and helping others. 

​His writing has appeared in dozens of magazines, and his  novel, You've Got Something Coming, received the Black Heron Press Award.

He also runs a book editing business and curates a literary magazine.
