With Jonathan, there is no rest until the job is finished accurately and promptly, except of course for a small break to make a trip back home to Sanford to indulge in his Grandmother’s amazing Sunday meal (and perhaps a post Grandma’s feast nap) after going to church with his family. Jonathan likes to maintain an active lifestyle to balance out devouring as many home cooked meals as possible, so he enjoys traveling to South Carolina to enjoy the beautiful beaches and to do some kayaking. However, if he is in an adventurous mood, Jonathan hikes and camps around the North Carolina mountains.
