Jonathan K. Riggs

Extrovert. Preacher’s kid. I’m Southern in all the best ways. Youngest of three, husband of one, father of four. Fighting depression and kicking its ass. Runner. Love-giver, risk-taker, music-maker, story-teller. Degrees in music and business. A man of faith and doubt; hope and disillusion. Goal-driven, but laid-back with people. Positive attitude. I have a weakness for french fries, ice cream, and cheesecake. I don’t get NASCAR, fantasy football, or video games, and I have an unusual aversion to the hiccups. I love almost anything in the wild outdoors, but I’ll take a dirt path and hiking pole over a deer stand and a rifle. I especially like backpacking, camping, lying under the stars, sitting around a fire, and being in and around bodies of water. I don’t talk smack and I have a soft spot for animals.
