Jonathan is a thorough, dedicated and creative scientist who knows how to drive projects to successful completion. During our four years' working together, I witnessed Jon's penchant for troubleshooting product- and process-oriented challenges, his leadership in technical marketing material development, and his ability to evangelize in conferences and other customer settings the virtues of the products he developed. He's a business-astute technical manager with a strong technical foundation.

I have worked with Jonathan for the past 3 years at Elevance Renewable Sciences. Jonathan is viewed as one of the scientific leaders at Elevance. He is not only a very versatile scientist but extremely motivated and drives every project he works on toward success. Jonathan is extremely good at juggling both the business and technical aspects of any project. In addition to his exceptional technical ability, Jonathan is a pleasure to work with, a true team player. I highly recommend Jonathan both personally and professionally.
