Jonathan is a nationally recognized expert on event security policy and procedures. He regularly presents at the annual conferences for the Event Services Professionals Association, the Event Industry Council and Meeting Planners International.

Jonathan spent a majority of his professional career in the United States Secret Service, serving as a criminal investigator in New York City and served on the Presidential Protection Division in Washington, DC. While assigned to the President’s detail, he managed numerous high-level security operations both in the United States and abroad while assigned to the protection of the President, First Lady of the United States.

Jonathan’s philosophy towards corporate security risk management is simple; security should be a workforce multiplier to enhance other organizational divisions, helping to achieve the fiscal goals of the company.

He is highly successful in building relationships with upper-level decision makers, seizing control of critical problem areas, and delivering on client commitments.
