Jonathan Stanton grew up in Asheville, North Carolina. His mother is asian and his father is an Italian and Polish mix. His step-mother taught him the values of honesty, hard-work, and dependability. He believes in the power of the human spirit. The service to others is essential to his nature. His confidence and commitment to health, yoga, Jeet Kune Do, surfing and physical training have provided modeling opportunities in fashion shows, art exhibits, marketing media, and now acting. Modeling has allowed him to work with talented photographers and artists in a profession, which is as much about art as it is about image. Jonathan is especially excited about portraying and appealing to the Asian fashion and film markets. He is pursuing work in the film and television industries as a means of channeling positive energy.
