Jonathan started playing Redemption right before the Kings expansion came out and it immediately became his favorite game to play. After high school, he joined the Marine Corps and quit the game for a while. Once he was done with his service, he moved to California and found all of his old Redemption cards and then joined a local play group that conveniently met nearby. Since then, Redemption and learning everything about it has become a passion in his life, along with his love for Jesus and his wife and kids of course.
