Always with attention to detail, and a focus on relationship management he is above all else a consummate professional. I would gladly endorse Jonny for any position. He is a stand up individual, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him.”

Rabbi Eric Lankin

“I was invited by Ma'ayanei HaYeshua Medical Center to review their resource development materials and plans that had been developed by Jonny. Although the campaign is unfolding, I was very impressed by Jonny's organizational skills, his deep and abiding understanding of the fundraising process; and the quality of the collaterals that were developed under his leadership. He is an excellent professional and because of his skills, energy and leadership, I have every confidence that the medical center's campaign will be successful.”

“Jonny was intstrumental in the advancement of WUJS during the time he spent as its Executive Director. With his extensive background in student-initiated programming, Jonny was able to help guide the leaders of WUJS during one of its strongest times, while also playing a key role in ushering in the American Union of Jewish Students. In addition, Jonny is a brilliant manager and garners the respect and admiration of his co-workers. His approachable and easy-going demeanor make him ideal to have around during high-stress situations. His leadership skills would be an asset to any organization.”
