My name is Jonathan Franks and was born on September 3rd 1983 in West Palm Beach, Florida. I have grown up and lived in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida for almost my entire life. I recently graduated from the University of South Florida (Tampa, Florida) with a degree in Communications. Since January 2007, I have been living back home working for a small property management business as well as the youth director for a local synagogue. Some of my honors and accomplishments while in college include President of Hillel of Tampa Bay USF, Vice President of the Sigma Nu Fraternity Theta Alpha Chapter and Caravan for Democracy fellow.

Along with my older brother Daniel, I am first generation United States citizen. My mother Miriam was born and raised in Israel while my father Malcolm grew up in England. Playing and following soccer, traveling, cooking and music are some of the things I enjoy.
