About Me.
Justice Reformer. Nonprofit Leader. Operations Expert.
After serving as a Deputy Sheriff and then Detective, I found myself in handcuffs. As I fought my way through the courts and over four years of incarceration, my eyes were opened to the injustice and inequities of the broken system of which I had once been a part.
With this realization, as well as my experience on both sides of the law, I created Florida Justice Center to provide free and low-cost lawyers to help others succeed after prison. I'm proud to say that since I founded Florida Justice Center in 2019, my staff and I have helped over 10,000 people with more than 13,000 legal issues.
In May 2024 I left Florida Justice Center to pursue doctoral studies at the University of Cincinnati where I am a PhD student in Criminal Justice and a Dean's Fellow.
I have dedicated my life to helping those marginalized and disenfranchised by the system and to bringing access to justice to underserved communities.

TESTIMONIALS
Jonathan is an excellent leader and boss. He is passionate for the causes he believes in. He is a flexible and understanding leader, guiding with a steady hand. Most impressively, is Jonathan's ability to analyze and revamp processes and systems for efficiency. Jonathan is the type of leader you want in every organization.
I have worked with Jonathan at the Florida Justice Center for several years. His dedication to social justice and criminal justice reform is an inspiration, but it is his day-to-day management that keeps this organization operating. There is no better person to lead a non-profit program.
Jonathan is an exceptional leader with a great ability to share his vision. He is the ultimate professional who is very process and goal oriented. I felt that he brought the best out of our teams. I would highly recommend Jonathan for his leadership, team building, project management, and innovative thinking skills.
