Jonathan Hatch is the founder, owner, president, ceo, editor-in-chief, and whatever else describes him as the person who built Saint Paul Media from the ground, up. He graduated from Bemidji State University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Creative and Professional Writing in 2004--the same year Saint Paul Media got its start--and left Bemidji State with a Masters of Arts in English in 2006. Now, he's a proud resident of lowertown St. Paul, Minnesota, spending most of his days brainstorming, designing, coding, and writing content for Saint Paul Media's current and future projects.

He started How to Get Rid of Things, the flagship website of Saint Paul Media, as a college project--unaware of its potential popularity. After witnessing tremendous success at getting rid of things, he went on to build How to Clean Things, How to Write Good, Widescreen Wallpaper, and his own vanity site, eRhetorician for Hire. Since then, Jonathan has put a considerable amount of effort into helping his fellow creative writing majors find work as writers on the web. Despite the economic downturn of 2008, he remains optimistic about the potential for people to make a living as freelance writers on the web.

Jonathan's interests include building computers, landscape and macro photography, long-distance swimming, tennis, southern literature, political punk rock, gourmet foods, scotch whisky, and traveling abroad.
