Jonathan Maness

Born and raised in the beautiful state of Colorado, Jonathan R. Maness grew up in the days of Broncos' great John Elway and Nuggets' greats Laphonso 'The Fonz' Ellis. As a lifelong Nuggets fan, he has followed the Denver Nuggets through the worst of times (and there were a lot of them) and currently through the best of times. This 30-year-old sports journalist has had the honor of taking photos of the Nuggets home games from the comforts of the Pepsi Center's floor. In his free time he works on the Sports Copy Desk at the Fort Collins Coloradoan.
