Writer. Actor. Teacher.

“Even when I can’t speak, all I have are words.”

-Jonathan

Jonathan (he/him) is a freelance actor and writer based in Chicago. Much of his professional career has been spent teaching students, grades 6-12, in the content areas of English/Language Arts and Theatre. After working with students, many with an array of special needs, Jonathan found himself on the other side of disability when diagnosed with a rare autoimmune neurological disorder in 2015. Forced to give in or create something new, Jonathan is pursuing his Master of Fine Arts in Writing while freelance acting to bring visibility to marginalized voices as a disabled person in the LGBTQ+ community.
