Jonathan is changing the world—literally.
 
He is a thoughtful and engaged Jewish leader who brings people together with his life purpose: Reducing human impact on the planet.

As Vice President of Sustainability Strategy at Remedy Medical Properties, Jonathan is a leader in advancing sustainable practices within the healthcare real estate sector. He brings a strategic and forward-thinking approach to the role, aligning environmental responsibility with business performance.
 
Jonathan has also made a significant impact through his leadership of Go Green Northbrook, an all-volunteer non-profit that promotes environmental sustainability through education, community programs, and collaboration with local governmental entities. As President, he has expanded the organization’s reach, increased engagement, and drove initiatives that have led to tangible environmental improvements.
 
The Highland Park native remains deeply embedded in the North Shore Jewish community. His home is known among family and friends as “the place to be for Passover,” where he not only hosts but intentionally welcomes non-Jews to participate in his family’s seder, creating an inclusive, educational, and meaningful experience for all.
