Jonathan was always passionate about fitness. From an early age, Jonathan grew up playing a variety of sports including baseball, hockey, and soccer. Through these exposures, Jonathan got more and more interested in weightlifting. As a response to a few personal challenges, Jonathan took refuge and relied on the gym as an outlet and happy space to get stronger physically and mentally.

In 2015, Jonathan discovered CrossFit after watching an impressive athlete named Mat Fraser dominate the CrossFit Open. Mat’s dedication and training mentality immediately resonated with Jonathan’s competitive side and led him to follow the CrossFit community with intense interest. Unfortunately, he would have to wait to join in on the fun due to a separated labrum in his shoulder. Six surgical screws and over a year of rehab later, Jonathan signed up for an Olympic lifting class at AIO in 2020 and was instantly hooked.

Jonathan is a people person first, and if you have seen him around the gym, you know that he is always happy to strike up a conversation and lend a helping hand. In addition to his passion for fitness you can find Jonathan at his day job with the BDC helping entrepreneurs. Jonathan also loves playing ultimate frisbee, cooking, reading, hanging on a great patio in the summertime, and spending time with his adorable puppy Sadie.
