Jonathan lives in Macon GA with his wife and two kids. He has always been passionate about green passenger transit, commuting via train or bus when home. Since having kids, he has fostered a deep appreciation for thoughtful playgrounds.

As a consultant, he advised F500 healthcare and automotive clients in new product development and new markets expansion. Currently, he works with UPS where he manages strategic projects (e.g., reusable packaging) and has advised on key strategies (e.g., omnichannel strategy, pricing strategy).

Macon’s Most Inclusive Playground

Ultimately, the goal is to get ‘Macon’s Most Inclusive Playground’ in Macon, where gaps in disability recreation abound.

This specific funding is to gain public input, excitement, and expertise for an inclusive playground in Macon that’s thoughtfully crafted for children across the ability spectrum and their families.

We’ve identified three ways to accomplish that:
(1) facilitating playground accessibility SME’s to engage with local leadership urban development leadership,
(2) working with local disability groups to give feedback on existing accessibility playground equipment in Macon, and
(3) bringing the community together to have discourse around accessibility and share this project.
