BIO

Jonathan was born and raised in the Antelope Valley of California. From an early age he has been influenced by photography and theater. Throughout High school he performed small plays and photographed his traveling and outdoor adventures, but the two were not combined until college. With the help of many friends he became interested in film making while attending Antelope Valley College in 2001. Ever since, he has written, directed, acted and filmed many small productions in an attempt to refine his craft. He has helped create many film festival entries and worked with many internet and TV productions. Now attending California State University Northridge, Jonathan has fallen in love with every aspect of film making and has begun building a successful career in the industry by always being eager to help and to learn new things.
