He holds a Master’s degree in Conservation Biology and Business from the University of Central Florida (UCF) and began his aviation journey as a licensed skydiver at age 18. After years of mentorship under Eric Dufour, one of the pioneers of paramotoring in the U.S., Jonathan purchased the Paramotor Academy and rebranded it as Paramotor Orlando in 2023—committed to preserving its legacy while modernizing its programs.
Jonathan’s instruction focuses on safety, skill development, and creating a life-changing experience in the sky. He has led international paramotor expeditions to Egypt, Mexico, and Tunisia, including bucket-list flights over landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza.
As part of his community mission, Jonathan partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to lead paramotor clinics for disabled veterans, using flight as a therapeutic and empowering tool.
