Jonathan was born and raised in Miami, South Florida and has always been an avid boater.

He holds a degree in international business from Florida International University and a technical degree in aviation maintenance.

Jonathan began his yachting career in 2007 when he was given the opportunity to work with a boutique firm in Miami, where he traveled heavily to South America, brokering new and used yachts and was able to connect with a very niche market in Colombia and Venezuela.

He also brings with him knowledge in construction of boats having spent a good three years in Italy building a boat. When he is not working, you can find Jonathan on a boat in the Bahamas, or at least , very close to the water.
