Johnathan Barnson was raised on Saddle Mountain Ranch, a 1,400-acre spread nestled in the rugged beauty of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Homeschooled by his family, Johnathan developed a strong work ethic, a deep respect for the land, and a hands-on education grounded in self-reliance and responsibility. Life on the ranch instilled in him the values of perseverance, teamwork, and leadership—traits that would serve him well in the years to come.
After high school, Johnathan answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Army. He trained and served as a 63 Bravo in the Motor pool division, gaining mechanical expertise and sharpening his logistical and operational skills while working with military vehicles and equipment. His time in the Army reinforced his discipline and deepened his sense of duty, preparing him for life beyond military service.
Following his honorable discharge, Johnathan transitioned into civilian life with a clear vision. He started a family and launched his career as a commercial fisherman along the Oregon coast. With determination and a natural leadership style, he quickly rose through the ranks to become a back deck boss—an essential and respected role during the high-stakes crabbing and shrimping seasons. As back deck boss, Johnathan ensures that every fishing trip runs smoothly and safely. He oversees the condition and readiness of the ship, maintains rigorous safety standards for the crew, and ensures that each operation—from gear deployment to catch processing—is executed with precision. His calm presence, technical knowledge, and dedication to his team make him a vital asset on the deck and a pillar of the fishing community.
After his first relationship ended, Johnathan and his son began a journey of personal awakening. This chapter of growth and reflection led them to a turning point—one that opened the door to new beginnings. Johnathan met the woman who would become both his wife and his son’s loving new mother. Their connection was instant and profound. Together, they welcomed a baby girl into their lives, creating a joyful, high-vibrational family rooted in love, healing, and shared purpose.
This period of transformation led Johnathan to cross paths with Dr. Sidney Brewer, a pivotal mentor and guide. Under Dr. Brewer’s wing, Johnathan has been immersed in the exploration of both financial and esoteric fields—gaining knowledge that merges practical wisdom with spiritual depth. With this guidance, he continues to evolve not only as a provider and protector but as a conscious leader in his family and community.
Whether on the rugged terrain of Saddle Mountain Ranch, under the structured demands of military service, navigating the stormy waters of the Pacific, or walking the path of personal and spiritual awakening, Johnathan Barnson has always led with integrity, grit, and a commitment to growth.
