Johnathan was born and raised in central New Jersey and majored in Engineering at Rutgers University in New Brunswick. He moved to Korea briefly before settling back into NJ in 2019, this time in Bergen County - where he fell in love with the people and community. He is currently continuing his education and pursuing a degree in Philosophy, while also contributing his operational talents at Beam City.

During his free time he loves immersing himself in all things basketball (reigning Fantasy Basketball Champion), singing, board games, and has a passion for sneakers as well. Make sure to ask him what shoes he's wearing when you see him; he can tell you everything about them!
