In 2006, he continued his studies at Indiana University, earning an MFA in Sculpture in 2009. During his time at IU, Jonathan taught courses in Drawing and 3-D Design. In 2015 he moved to Colorado Springs. He has taught 2-D Fundamentals at UCCS and is currently the Exhibition Designer / Preparator Manager at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.
