Jonathan has a knack for research and fact-finding, including the old-fashioned practice of picking up a "telephone" and "calling" a source. He's not afraid to dig deep in order to get the story right, nor does he shy away from tackling new subjects with authority and charm.
He excels in using data to tell a narrative, centering an anecdote to extrapolate a bigger topic, and lapsing into AP Style.
Although he cut his journalistic teeth on politics and culture, Jonathan is a colossal sci-fi nerd, and considers his career as a writer the result of "failed astronautical ambitions." He's also been known to "talk too damn much about movies."
When he's not writing, Jonathan spends his time reading and painting absurdly overpriced plastic sci-fi miniatures.
As a political journalist, Jonathan has produced award-winning content for many regional publications in the South and Midwest.
Jonathan's small web design business has attracted several clients in just under a year of operation, including psychology practices, restaurants, local nonprofits and more.
Jonathan has covered municipal, state, and federal government for years, developing an expertise and intuition for legislative promulgation (fancy-speak for "how a bill becomes a law"), watchdog issues, and public policy.
Jonathan has won awards for his blogging prowess, including a "Best Staff Blog" award from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia.
Jonathan has received accolades from the Society of Professional Journalists for several of his articles, which include such topics as investigative reporting, feature writing, and women's and minority affairs.
