BIO
Jonathan teaches in the areas of Elementary education, Special education, and English as a Second Language. If he isn’t doing that, he might be teaching a Creative Writing course or two. Other places you might find him include hanging out with his wife, watching a soccer match, or researching an idea for a new novel. He’s been teaching in a lot of places with many different student populations, but is happy to now call North Central home.
