Jonathan has always labeled himself as a lyrical painter: one who paints the scenery verbally. Since he first began writing for his junior high yearbook, it has been his dream to become a professional sports reporter.

Jonathan began his journalistic endeavors by writing for his high school newspaper. He graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2008 and resides in Schaumburg.<br><br>He has worked as a sports reporter for the Daily Herald, Loop.com, Chicagosporting.com and the Chicago Tribune in Illinois and the Marion Chronicle-Tribune, Wabash Plain Dealer, Huntington Herald-Press and Peru Tribune in Central Indiana covering professional, collegiate and high school sports. <br> <br>Jonathan is excited to be on board the Patch.com team. He cites his professor, mentor and peer Howard Schlossberg, a Columbia College professor and Daily Herald reporter, who says, &#34;There are no egos in high school. The athletes play for the name on the front of the jersey instead of the name on the back.&#34;
