Jonathan Epstein
Director of Festival
Jonathan (He/Him): is originally from New York, relocated to Atlanta in 1996 for career opportunities and a less hectic way of life. He has been a Smyrna resident since 2018, falling in love with the area because of its community feeling and walking distance to Smyrna Market Village.
Jonathan is heavily involved in his company’s numerous employee affinity networks, serving in multiple leadership and executive sponsor roles for several, including their IGEN (Inter-Generational) and LGBTQ+ networks. As Co-Chair of the Atlanta chapter of his company’s LGBTQ+ network, he focused on education, mentorship, and support by promoting awareness and acceptance.
When not working, Jonathan enjoys being active in the community and volunteering at Lost-N-Found, a non-profit organization providing vital services for local displaced LGBTQ+. He also enjoys traveling with friends and spending time with his family.
