Since joining Inter-Fluve in 2011, Jonathan has carved out a unique role, serving as both a creative voice and visual storyteller of the organization. “I have one foot in science and one in communications,” he explains. “A big part of my job is translating our work into stories that people can understand and relate to.”

From capturing photos and video of field projects to writing for and managing the Inter-Fluve website, Jonathan shapes how Inter-Fluve is seen and understood, both internally and externally. He also collaborates with clients such as the Bureau of Reclamation, the Yakama Nation, the Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB), and others to develop compelling, approachable graphics, reports and conceptual designs.

Originally from Minnesota, Jonathan moved to Oregon in 1998 in search of rivers and mountains. When he’s not working, you’ll find him skiing, biking, hiking, or kiting his way through the Columbia River Gorge.
