Did You Know: At 20 years old, Jonathan began his professional radio broadcasting career reading the English language announcements on "The Polish Hour" at WERE Radio in Cleveland. Later, he worked at WLEC in Sandusky, Ohio, and in 1965 became the overnight announcer in Columbus at WTVN Radio.

In 1966, Jonathan joined the Army and took to the airwaves for the American Forces Network (AFN) in Europe, stationed in Frankfurt, West Germany. In 1969, after reaching the rank of Staff Sergeant E-6 and receiving the Army commendation medal, Jonathan moved to Milwaukee and began his career at WTMJ Radio as an announcer.

In 1981, he left for a year to experience the sunny climate at WDAE in Tampa, Florida. He returned to Milwaukee a year later and put in a two-year stint at WZUU-FM. In 1983, Jonathan rejoined the staff at his alma-mater, WTMJ-AM, where he currently resides as host of "The Green House" weekday afternoons from 3-6 p.m. He describes himself as a "disc jockey on talk radio."

When he's not busy on the air, Jonathan is heavily involved in supporting community projects, such as the Teddy Bear Patrol to collect teddy bears to distribute to area police and fire departments to use to comfort children in crisis situations. In 1999, Jonathan helped collect more than 2,500 bears for the program.  In 2006 Jonathan created the Christmas Kids 2 Kids toy collection drive for the Salvation Army.  Parents are encouraged to take their kids shopping for toys to bring to collection points or events, learning generosity while helping the needy.

Jonathan is passionate about all aspects of his life. He has been an avid skier (since the early 70s) and Harley Davidson Motorcycle enthusiast (since 1988). He has skied at most major resorts in the Rockies and Lake Tahoe area, as well as Austria and France. He puts about 15,000 miles per year on his Harley (currently on his third one) having ridden to both coasts, Canada, Hawaii, and New Zealand, and emceeing Harley Davidson's 95th Birthday Party in 1998 with Jay Leno. Jonathan's latest passion, an extension of his radio voice talent, is as an auctioneer.  As sole proprietor of Show-BID-ness Auctions, Jonathan specializes in entertaining fund raisers for charities, schools, churches, etc.  He's a graduate of the World Wide College of Auctioneering.

A world traveler and Wisconsin cartography maven, Jonathan is a common man's news junky who can relate to, visualize and identify with the stories presented on "The Green House."
