Hey Jonathan, the videos look and sound great. I still can't get over how good Rustin is. I got a job opportunity out in LA composing and will be moving out there soon. Thanks for all the help and support you've given me this past year. I hope everything's going well for you and take care.

Jonathan is a listener. His warmth and adaptability come out in his work. The assertion of his thoughts and ability to work with others' ideas makes me eager to work with him.
