Who is Jonathan Dalton?
Jonathan is a 28-year resident of the Valley of the Sun. Originally from California's San Fernando Valley, Jonathan and his family moved to Mesa in 1977. Jonathan graduated from Dobson High School before earning an Associate of Arts degree from Mesa Community College and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Arizona State University. Jonathan started his career as a full-time sportswriter and to this day can be found at local sporting events working on a free-lance basis.
Jonathan spent 10 years in journalism before moving to the finance industry with Charles Schwab. He spent eight years with the company, the first four as a stockbroker and the last four as a manager. After Schwab Jonathan switched to the field he always had wanted to enter, real estate. In this field, Jonathan has enjoyed the opportunity to provide service to families striving to meet their real estate goals.
When not working with his clients, Jonathan spends as much time as possible with his wife Kathie and their three children. Jonathan has spent three seasons coaching first- and second-grade YMCA soccer, volunteers at both his son and daughter's elementary schools and he also is active within his synagogue. On Saturday afternoons in the fall, Jonathan can be found in his regular seats in Section 22 of Sun Devil Stadium. He also is a devoted Parrothead, going so far as to take his wife to a Buffett concert in Las Vegas for their honeymoon.
Who is Tobey Dalton?
Tobey adopted the Dalton family in March of 2004 after a short stay with a foster family arranged through Arizona Beagle Rescue. It only was later the family learned Tobey's ultimate goal, aside from eating everything and anything in the pantry or left at dog's eye level, was to become the second-most recognized beagle in the world behind Snoopy.
Tobey's natural charisma and good looks made him a natural for Jonathan's marketing efforts. And if those fail him, he has perfected his hound-dog expression.
When not eating or ordering mocha shakes, Tobey generally can be found sleeping or sunning himself on the Dalton family's back patio. He also is fond of taking long walks through the neighborhood around Pioneer Elementary School in Glendale, sometimes with his owners attached via leash and other times with them running or driving behind him pleading with him to stop running!
