"Working with Jonathan over these past 3 football season has been nothing short of a blast. When I first started I was just a newly graduated ex football player who had a broadcasting degree, but no real football broadcasting experience. I knew the game, but didn’t know how to express it into broadcasting. Jonathan helped me tremendously in reaching my full potential over these last 3 seasons. Professionally Jonathan is nothing short of a class act. All he wanted to do over these last 3 season was get better every year, and we both are in constant conversation before, during, and after each season on how we both can improve."

He’s a true pro who makes every production better.”
