Meet Jonathan Montano

He might look like a young guy, but he's been doing this for a while. Jonathan currently works with Edwards Ambulance service, where he's proudly been for many years. Working for the company is great, but that's not enough for Jon.

While serving as a paramedic, Jonathan also volunteers at the New Hartford Fire Department. Not a day goes by when he doesn't think about how he can better serve his family and community.

He goes above and beyond with his patient care... makes sure everyone is comfortable and safe.

If you were to ask Jonathan where he gets his drive from, he would have to say his father. It's clear that Jon's dad has made a significant impact on his life.
