By the time he was 17 years old\, he and his family had lived in t wo homeless shelters\, a church\, a small fourth-floor attic\, public ho using projects and a hotel\, among many other places.  \; However\ , with his determination to ascend from poverty unaffected\, he earned his G.E.D. and obtained an associate’s degree in English and Communications at Allegheny Community College. He went on to earn his bachelor’s degre e in Journalism and Communications from Point Park University where he gra duated Cum Laude. Jonathan then attended and graduated from Ohio State Uni versity College of Law. He then practiced law at the Ohio Attorney General ’s Office.  \; During his 12-year career there\, he served in a variety of leadership posts\, including Deputy Attorney General and Sectio n Chief. He led several departments to achieve success. As a result\, he w as a recipient of the Ohio Attorney General's Innovation and Excellence Aw ard in 2005.  \; Jonathan is also an avid photographer. Pictures h ave intrigued him ever since he was a child. While growing up\, drawing pi ctures provided him with an escape from his life of poverty. Later in life he became hooked on photography when he happened upon a 35mm camera and l ooked through the viewfinder. He was so enthralled that he studied photogr aphy as part of his undergraduate major in communications.  \; Tod ay \;Jonathan serves as CEO of Clear Picture Leadership®. He uses les sons learned from his childhood\, leadership skills honed throughout his c areer and the inspiration embodied in his artwork to encourage leaders to achieve a “clear picture” vision. As Jonathan says\, “Picturing your destination is the first step to achieving something great.” Sometimes leaders are tempted to cast aside an imaginative vision because it is deem ed “unrealistic.” Yet – as his tagline says – Jonathan challenges leaders with “a different perspective: Where imagination and reality mee tTM”.
