He is a member of Greater Tampa REALTORS® and is a certified At Home With Diversity specialist, Military Relocation Professional, and e-PRO® technology professional.
Originally from Ohio, Jonathan began his real estate career as a college marketing intern for a high-volume agency, just as marketing and associates' personal websites were evolving. While still in college, he obtained his Ohio REALTOR® license, and worked as an assistant for a sales associate specializing in luxury real estate. Jonathan earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance, with a minor in German and marketing, from Ohio's University of Toledo, and a Master of Business Administration from the Keller Graduate School of Management.
After college, Jonathan moved back to his hometown of Hudson, where he worked for a national real estate company before trading in Ohio's harsh winters for Tampa's year-round sun. Expanding his real estate career to the Tampa Bay area, Jonathan worked for two national companies, constantly ranking among the top-producing associates, before partnering with Premier Sotheby's International Realty.
