Biography

Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jonathan's artistic inclination was fostered by southwestern culture and sharpened by his aversion from a very Evangelical influence. Jonathan belonged and graduated from The Boy Scouts of America as an Eagle Scout. He began writing when he was eight years old when he managed to fill fifteen composition books in one year with various short stories, plays, and mock scripts. In high school he was editor of his school's yearbook, a broadcast and film enthusiast, and frequent performer in school productions. When he was seventeen he wrote and directed a full length play (Naaman's Last Christmas) which received glowing attention from the community. He moved to the Midwest to study film and English at Huntington University. His attention has narrowed to screenwriting where he ironically found success writing Youth For Christ's short film, "The Gift of Hope".
