Storyteller, Ideator, Maker of Things

Juba, South Sudan, 2011 — Juba, South Sudan, 2011

Jonathan has the blessed curse of being a polymath. There are few things he hasn't tried his hand at yet, but he mostly loves his cameras and telling stories with them.

His talent for quickly synthesizing complex information and fitting it into broader context is what attracts him to stories about Economics, Development, Travel, and Adventure.

Jon also enjoys helping companies figure out how to tell their story or communicate about complex issues. Occasionally, he prototypes hardware and recently co-founded BRCK: a hardware tech company based in Nairobi, Kenya.

He once hot-wired a hard drive to a car battery in order to file a story from the Congo. He made his deadline.
