Jonathan began his lifelong love affair with the stage as a child, making his debut at the historic Flat Rock Playhouse near his home in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. From there he parlayed this passion into a lengthy career teaching theater, acting and public speaking across all levels and ages. He has had a couple of short-lived retirements, notably one after a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery while still in his 50's. Nonetheless, he has heeded the call back to the stage and classroom. As he nears another and likely final retirement from teaching at a few universities, he still sees the unbroken circle of stage calling him, carrying him forward.
