Jonathan is a music nut, a pinball geek, an 80s kid, and a Colorado transplant.  He feels most alive when he is being creative and he really likes making people laugh. Jonathan's career started in radio and he still loves the medium.  Radio gave him a chance to write copy and produce audio every day.  After he left, he filled the void with his mixtape series DETOUR and later, a visual art project based on LP artwork called HiFi Jones.​You might have predicted that he would get into voiceover if you saw how many times he recorded the outgoing message for his family's answering machine growing up.  Even though he is an introvert, he likes to perform and goof around-- and a quiet room with space for one person and a mic is kinda the perfect setting for him.Jonathan also is the brains behind Kaleidoscope in Lafayette, Colorado. Kaleidoscope welcomes artists of all abilities to experience the joy of creativity.  Like a coworking space for the creative type! ***Your hosts of Are You Waiting for Permission? are Meridith Grundei and Joseph Bennett.
