For Jonathan the opportunity to put his years of experience in finance and business development to work to launch a new customer-centric agency with a fresh approach proved to be the dream of a lifetime. Today, as one of the firm’s managing partners, he enjoys working with clients to solve marketing challenges and plan for future success. Jonathan is a native of Columbia, SC and a proud graduate of the University of South Carolina. He earned a bachelor of science degree from USC with a double major in finance and management. Prior to starting Mighty 8th, he worked as an accountant as well as a professional fund raiser and received his Certified Fund Raising Executive designation through the National Society of Fund Raising Executives. He has also worked for several agencies where he grew a passion for the business.
