Jonathan Payne
Jonathan grew up near New York City and as a kid liked to spend time
outside climbing trees and conducting experiments on tomatoes,
rainwater, insects, fungi, or just about anything. He asked for piano
lessons and a bike for his seventh birthday, but he was led to believe
he had to choose one or the other. When he got them both after all, he
started taking cello lessons, too. He continued to find new things to
do and now has not nearly enough time for anything. He studied
architecture at Columbia before there was a Joe Columbia, and he used
to be amused by the lifelong learners in many of his classes. Upon
graduation, however, he became one himself right away and now spends
as much time as possible outdoors while practicing the cello, hanging
from pull-up bars like a kid from a tree, trying to learn jazz,
conducting experiments on coffee, negotiating how to bike home to the
highest, windiest, and farthest place in Manhattan, and trying to
learn more of just about everything.
