“I learned an immense amount from Jonathan about both
marketing strategy and management skills during the time he and I were
colleagues at Area 50, and I also thoroughly enjoyed working with him
on a personal level. He is very good at directing a team, giving
momentum to a project, and engaging in any way necessary to achieve the
desired results. He brings an incredible measure of energy and
knowledge to every project he takes on, and with a generous spirit,
always works diligently to not only direct, but also teach his
production teams. Jonathan is very intelligent, very industrious, has
strong ethics, and a kind and generous spirit. I’ve met few
people who work as hard as Jonathan, and fewer still who bring as much
to the table. In my opinion Jonathan would be a great asset to any
organization.” January 10, 2008
