Jonathan is the father of 3 children. Two boys, Marc 21 years old, David 27 years old and one girl, Jordan who is 17 years. He is a combat veteran and former US Army Operations team member. Last served with the 160 SOAR. Following his time in the Army, he attended San Jose State University. He has a BA in Fine Arts./Graphic Design, an AA in Creative Writing and two certifications in Business Marketing and Business Management.
In addition, he is a former NFL player, where he spent 3 years with the Los Angeles Raiders and a few years in NFL Europe as well as played some Arena Football with the San Jose Sabercats in their inaugural season. His dad, brother, nephew and 4 cousins all played in the NFL. His cousin Vonetta Flowers was the first African American to win a gold medal in the Winter Olympics and his Great, Great Grandfather, Theodore “Tiger” Flowers was the first African American in the boxing Hall of Fame. So, to say sports and being competitive in my family is understatement.
He has been in marketing on all levels for 25 plus years and he worked with companies both large and small in both the B2B and B2C sectors, including Agilent, HP, Yahoo, Facebook, Cisco (WebEx), CPP, PayPal, Easton-Bell, Toys R Us, OSH, Symantec, Concentric, SanDisk and Google. Throughout his career, he has ran every aspect of creative services, agency work and marketing in all forms (Product, Demand Gen, ABM, etc.), from being the department head who hires the vendors and creative talent, to supervising design and demand gen teams (both graphic and web), client interaction, account/project management and strategic implementation for almost every type of product line or service.
