Highlights/Bio:
Born and raised in Japan, Jonathan Bing always had a book in his backpack for the 4-hour round-trip to school. Years later, as he daylighted as a copywriter and creative director, he moonlighted as a children’s book author, publishing Jimmy Jonny Brownie Stays Up All Night under the pen name Bing Puddlepot. The book garnered nice reviews, several awards, and was reprinted in the Baltimore Sun. He has written plays, musicals, children’s books and novels. Jonathan continues to write good things for kids (at Jonathan-Bing.com and puddlepot.com) and to help adults (with clients that include everything from small nonprofits to Fortune 100).
