Before his time on the bench, Jonathan practiced in a boutique personal injury law firm. There he provided zealous representation to his clients, who held him in such high regard that referrals were a significant source of his business. Previously, Jonathan worked for a defense firm and observed firsthand how insurance companies frequently take advantage of wrongfully injured individuals.

A maroon-blooded Aggie, Jonathan was a four-year member of the Corps of Cadets. He was elected to the Ross Volunteer Company, the Honor Guard for the Governor of Texas and the oldest student organization in the state, and was chosen by his peers to serve as a Platoon Leader during his senior year. That year, Jonathan was also chosen to serve as the Inspector General for the entire 2,000+ member corps and received the American Legion Military Excellence Award.

Jonathan completed Air Force ROTC studies, including field training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, where the Air Force awarded him the Superior Performance Award, Athletic and Physical Fitness Awards, and the Marksmanship Award. During his final year at A&M, Jonathan served on the Aggie Muster Committee and worked for both the University Board of Regents and the Vice-President for Student Services.
