Starting his martial arts career early in high school wrestling, Jonathon became infatuated with all aspects of combat sports. After graduation, Jonathon moved to Arizona and made an immediate transition into the MMA scene back in 2006. After training and competing in the Phoenix Metropolitan area from 2006-2010, Jonathon made a move to Dallas, Texas looking to expand his experience in traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. His Journey brought him to the doorstep of 2x NO-GI Masters World Champion Professor JD Shelley (Romero “Jacare” Cavalcanti Black Belt) and Muay Thai Arjan Carlos Moreno (Arjan under Chansadeth “Cheetah” Chanthanao) of Cheetah Muay Thai/AMTA in 2011.
