Jonathan works on coastal ecosystem, stream, and wetland restoration to promote sustainability and resilience. He is the blue carbon specialist on the Nature-Based Climate Solutions team, advisor to the Midwest region stream and wetland restoration team, regional technical lead in the environmental design community, and our Water team¡¯s point of contact for the natural capital, nature-based technology, and biodiversity groups.
Before joining the ¡°dark side¡± of engineering, Jonathan was an ecologist studying wetlands and fluvial systems. His favorite projects apply nature-based design principles to protect communities and critical habitats. He is currently advising coastal protection and restoration authority on carbon credit incentives for a coastal master plan in Louisiana and developing a country-wide mangrove restoration program for an oil and gas client in South America to offset emissions.
When he¡¯s not working with nature to find sustainable solutions, Jonathan enjoys relaxing with his family, live music, fly fishing and tying, kettlebells, and trail runs.
