Jonathan was born and raised in the Bismarck area and still lives there today with his wife and son. He began his career in EMS by joining the volunteer fire department in Bismarck and later attended EMT school. During his ride-alongs with LifeNet, he enjoyed the experience so much that he applied to become a full-time EMT after completing his training.
Jonathan has been with LifeNet for 17 years and is currently the Regional Communications Manager for the Arkansas division. He started as an EMT, then moved into the Communications Center as a dispatcher. Over time, he became a Communications Training Officer (CTO) for dispatch, then the dispatch supervisor, and eventually the Regional Communications Manager. His primary responsibilities include overseeing the Communications Center’s daily functions and the needs of the dispatchers.
In his free time, Jonathan enjoys camping, traveling, and watching football. A fun fact about him is that he loves to play any kind of board game or card game.
