Jonathan Ross

I am an award-winning writer, interactive project manager/producer and business consultant based in Los Angeles, California. My work draws upon more than 15 years of comprehensive experience in project management, creative content development, marketing, and strategic business development within the Media / Entertainment, Interactive Technology and Lifestyle / Recreational industries. 

My journey as an itinerant consultant began in 2000, in part a reaction to the dot-com implosion, and I subsequently founded Black Rock Consulting in 2003 to further my efforts. I developed the concept of the “Zentropist” and launched the "Tao of the Zentropist" blog in January 2009 as a personal brand-building exercise and means of promoting my personal and business philosophy, which is influenced heavily by Eastern wisdom traditions including Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism and Taoism, yet retains Western ideals of independence and self-reliance. 

I’m a martial artist (Krav Maga & Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu my primary focus), outdoorsman and on some level at least, aspiring alchemist.
