Jonathan brings a rich and diverse background to BB&T. After college, he
studied Religion at the graduate level at Eastern Mennonite Seminary. Prior
to joining BB&T, he served as campaign manager for Pennsylvania State
Representative William I. Gabig. Business and real estate clients are especially
well served by Jonathan’s ability to handle the legal and interpersonal nuances
of complex, delicate transactions.

“Vince Lombardi once said, ‘All your effort in any business should be directed to
taking the risks out of it.’ In that spirit, I welcome the opportunity to work as
part of a team, helping our clients do just that for their businesses. It is especially
rewarding because of the challenge of assessing each client’s unique business
needs and developing a course of action that suits the client’s particular
business situation.”

In addition to baseball and running, Jonathan is a hiking enthusiast who has
set a goal for himself of one day walking the Appalachian Trail from end to
end. He enjoys volunteering in the community and is an active member of the
Rotary Club of Lancaster, the vice-president of the Board of Bridge of Hope
of Lancaster and Chester Counties, and serves in the children's ministry
at LCBC. Biographies are his favorite form of reading.
