Jonathan Cowles, Executive Recruiter

Jonathan is a Colorado native who joined OTR in 2022.  He graduated with a degree in Accounting from The University of Colorado Colorado Springs where he had a successful baseball career as a student athlete.  After deciding a career in tax accounting wasn’t in his future, he merged his accounting and sales backgrounds to begin his career in tax recruitment.  In his free time, Jonathan can be found on the golf course or enjoying the outdoors.
