Jonathan Truthan has pursued many careers over the years, including being an Eagle Scout, serving in the Marines as an infantryman for 8 years, working as a chef and firefighter. He was medically discharged from the Marines in 2012 due to a career-ending injury. He then pursued his passion for art and video games by studying game art, first taking art classes while studying biology in college. He is now studying game art at Full Sail University. Art and his family are very important parts of his life.
