      About Jonathan


      Partner and Design Lead Jonathan started at ZURB in 2008 and his path has lead him to be a Partner at ZURB. Jonathan loves to have his hands in well, everything, and lives to keep pushing ZURB (and the Web in general) into the future. He's constantly trying to keep Foundation, our open-source responsive framework, about 6 months ahead of where everyone would be comfortable..

      Jonathan was born into a military family and grew up…all over the place, from Germany to the deep South to the California High Desert. He finally hunkered down at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, earning a degree in Digital Media. After a brief stint in Alabama (of all places) Jonathan moved out to the West Coast for ZURB. When he's not working he's either showing his tiny daughter how to make trouble, or playing videogames.
