Jonathan Rosenberg

Dallas - Co-Founder of White Unicorn Agency

This Cape Town, South Africa, native got a half-soccer, half academic scholarship at the University of South Carolina. By the end of sophomore year he realized he wasn’t the next David Beckham, and transferred to the business program at The University of Texas in Austin. Now the dedicated Dallas resident watches as much soccer as he plays, in between running the creative agency he co-founded. @whiteunicornagency
