Consul Warren is something of a renaissance man who enjoys traveling the world, great theater, uncovering lost history, collecting and restoring historic vehicles, marksmanship, fencing, archery, and his astonishingly diverse, multicultural cadre of friends and relatives.

In the early 1980's Jonathan was a field archaeologist working for his father, famous in that field.  In the mid-1980's he became an insurance and securities broker.  He entered private investor real estate lending in 1991, funding tens of millions of dollars in private mortgage loans. In the early 2000's He formed leasing and finance companies.  In 2003 he developed unique banking products which quietly helped cultivate better banking customers.  These have been implemented across the industry in the past two decades, and are a closely held secret at dozens of financial institutions today. 

In the post-collapse world after 2008, Consul Warren was instrumental in assisting federal authorities in the identification and prosecution of various intricate financial scams.  His blog postings instruct readers on identification of specific financial crimes, and remain among the most popular reading by victims seeking comprehension and justice.
