about

Jonathan has been an entrepreneur most of his life. Since the age of 16 he’s had key roles in bringing half a dozen start-ups to market and seems to have always had somethin’ cooking. His industry knowledge of most things – production to web development – is almost all self-taught… the hard way. He doesn’t mind though; he loves jumping in, problem solving and bringing creative solutions. But more than anything, he can bring a team of experts and leaders together, help set the course and fill in the gaps where he’s needed.

As a Knoxville-native, Jonathan has a huge passion for this city and community which translates into serving within community organizations. He currently sits on the board of Knox Media, on the Knoxville Chamber Marketing Committee and as a Knoxville Chamber Ambassador. He has also been inducted to the Knox.Biz 40 Under 40 class of 2020 for his outstanding professional accomplishments.

He holds the belief that life is all about experiences, which has led him to have some… interesting hobbies. When not working, you’ll likely find him in the skies above Knoxville and Maryville flying his powered parachute (see his TikTok for details). He also enjoys fly-fishing, building drones, video games and a good tequila or mezcal.
