Jonathan Ment’s Summary

I regularly work in audio, video, photography and publicity. I also contribute a column and monthly features to a broadly distributed glossy magazine.

As a one-man show, I plan, execute and deliver a wide range of projects.

In a crew setting, whether assembled by me or including me as a contractor, I am a versatile member of any crew.

MMG works principally in New York's Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountain Region, New York City and its environs, Albany and the Capitol District, and via the Internet.

Jonathan Ment’s Specialties:

In the newspaper realm, I served as a union officer for seven years, including about four years as president - during all of this time I negotiated contracts, the finer (or rougher, if you prefer) points of healthcare, and all manner of employee-employer relations.

This union work is behind me, though the principals of fairness and equality remain.
