Instinct Magazine's Associate Web Editor Jonathan Higbee earned a degree in Communication and Media Studies from Santa Monica College before landing his first editorial gig at local L.A. magazine Frontiers. He assumed a national audience when he became the editor of Gay List Daily's National and NYC editions and a regular contributor to many of the web's most trafficked pop-culture sites, including Towleroad and AfterElton (now TheBacklot), shortly thereafter. In 2009, he joined Instinct Magazine as Web Assistant and has put his heart and soul into the publication's online presence ever since.
