The "X" man is a talented and creative director who is able to tell a compelling story regardless of the genre - talk shows, sports shows, and music events. DIRECTV Entertainment has been fortunate to work with him for the last 6 years and I am proud to call him my friend for the last 18 years+. He is a rock star! Richard Pitpit "Austin & Ally" at Disney Channel "Jonathan always has a positive attitude and brings energy to every production he directs. Not only does Jonathan have an eye for the camera, but gives the camera operator freedom to be creative as well. One of the few directors out there that sincerely compliments a shot and thanks the crew at the end of the day. Jonathan is a true professional."
