Слайд 10Jonathan’s career took him a lot of places in the Pacific and
Mountain Northwest! Salt Lake City was the beginning of his appreciation and desire to be in the mountains and the beginning of changing his career trajectory from construction management back to engineering.
Слайд 12Jonathan’s career took him to Seattle twice. During his most recent stay
he lived in a suburb of Seattle and met two of his best friends – Robb Williams and Rob Burgess; who just happen to be groomsmen with the couple today!
