As a wee lad growing up in Maryland, Jonathan fell in love with all things Pixar and Spider-Man. So it tracks that Jonathan grew up to work at Pixar, and then move to Los Angeles to write for a Spider-Man TV show for kids. He also wrote Disney Channel’s first short-form series, "Shook," which was nominated for a Daytime Emmy, in addition to "Andi Mack," which received a GLAAD Award for his episode featuring a main character coming out as gay — a first in Disney Channel history.
Outside of writing movies and TV, Jonathan has served as a social media producer on FOX’s hit reality show “The Masked Singer,” a counselor at a summer camp for LGBTQ+ youth called Brave Trails, and a proud pastry assistant at a pie shop in San Francisco.
