Growing up with his father in prison, he was the man of the house as a troubled teenager chasing an Olympic dream while also working jobs to help pay the bills.

Now, at 33, Jonathan is on the verge of an unlikely second wind as an athlete that has him on the cusp of a heavily hyped showdown at the IPF World Championships.
