Jonathan Pinkston

I am an entrepreneur, holistic medical practitioner, and technology builder based in Santa Rosa, California. My career has been shaped by a simple belief: the best solutions come from understanding the whole system instead of focusing on one problem at a time. That philosophy has guided my work in healthcare, real estate, hospitality, and artificial intelligence.

I grew up in Sonoma County and studied at Sonoma State University before earning a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley and a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Five Branches University. I also spent more than 15 years studying Ayurvedic, Functional, and Chinese medicine to deepen my understanding of whole-person health.

Along the way, I have built businesses, worked in real estate, helped create community spaces, served on the board of a nonprofit land trust, and explored how AI can support healthier lives and stronger communities. I am also a professional musician, writer, restaurateur, and lifelong traveler who believes that curiosity leads to better ideas.

Everything I do is connected by a long-term perspective. I want to build businesses, technologies, and communities that leave people better than I found them while creating solutions that continue to make a positive impact for generations.
