Bio

Jonathan Brower: Quick Bio Jonathan Brower is a structural engineer and accomplished runner based in Dallas, Texas. Starting his running journey in 2012 after transitioning from competitive tennis, he quickly demonstrated natural talent by running a 3:06 in his first marathon in Chicago. Brower has completed notable marathons including New York (multiple times), Boston, Portland, and Chicago, with a personal best of 2:57. He's known locally for casually passing other runners while pushing his children in a stroller during races. Beyond his personal achievements, Brower serves as a running coach, using a data-driven approach that has helped several runners achieve significant PRs. He's actively involved with the Dallas Running Club and serves on the board of the Architecture and Design Foundation, helping organize the Form Follows Fitness 5K that combines his professional passion for structural engineering with his love of running. As a father of two young sons (born in 2020 and 2022), Brower has adapted his training approach, sometimes starting runs at 3:50 AM to balance family responsibilities with his continued pursuit of running excellence.
