CHARITABLE ENGAGEMENT
Jonathan and his family volunteer with the March of Dimes. Inspired by the strength and resilience of Jonathan’s daughter, Taylor, who was born 12 weeks premature and struggling to survive, the family formed Team Taylor Tot to raise support for the March for Babies Campaign. Today, Jonathan, his wife, and entire family raise money and awareness to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. To date, Team Taylor Tot has raised over $175,000.
