​JONATHAN moonlights as a paralegal, specializing in maritime and avian litigation. He also runs a book editing business and curates a literary magazine.

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 dozens of countries via hitching, couch surfing, and working exchanges. In his spare time he makes handcrafted soap and thrives on chips and salsa, diverse workouts, organic food, medicinal herbs, artwork, street markets, and happily helping others. 

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