Jonathan is an emergency management coordinator with a passion for all things weather. He is currently a municipal emergency management coordinator in a primarily rural township. He also works in emergency management at the county level and in 9-1-1 communications.

He currently lives in south-central Pennsylvania with his wife and son.
