About me!

Hi! My name is Jonathan. I'm born and raised in Southern California. I have an awesome wife, Kelly and we have a beautiful little daughter, Lilly who will be 3 this year. I got my Bachelor's Degree in Radio, TV and Film at Cal State Fullerton. I'm currently going to school to get my Master's Degree in Marketing at University of Florida (Online). I currently work for Disney. I've had the pleasure of working with them for alomost 9 years. While in college, I was a Jungle Cruise Skipper at Disneyland. After college, I worked in TV and Radio. I worked at NFL Network, Warner Brothers Studios, KTLA 5 Morning News, The Soup on E! and FOX Sports Radio. I also had the pleasure of working as a high school football coach, as well. I love sports, music, and movies. I love traveling with my friends and family. 

Tell your donors who you are and why you are running!

I'm honored of joining Doug Flutie's Team For Autisim! This organization hits close to home with me. My little brother, Matthew was diagnosed with Autisim at a very young age. I know the challenges that families with autisitic loved one can face. I've lived it too. My little brother has a heart of gold. I've had the pleasure of coaching his specila needs baseball teams when he was younger and he even made his high school track team. He's actually in the best shape in my family. He actually just did his first half marathon in January at Walt Disney World, with the assitance of my wife running with him. He was so excited and we were so proud of him. Both of our parents are cancer survivors and have had their share of health problems. I'm running to represent my family since they physically can't participate. I'm running for my whole families honor. My wife, Kelly works as a Middle School Special Education Teacher and helps children with Autisim and other disabilities every day. She does so much great work with the kids. Growing up a big football fan, My uncle was a San Diego Chargers season ticket holder, we would go to games and watch Doug Flutie play. I'm excited to be apart such a great cause to help spread autisim awareness. I'm so excited to be apart of Team Flutie! Any donation is much appreciated. Thank you so much for your generosity and thank you for all your support!
