Meet JT

The unofficial "Mayor of Cape Cod."

Since riding in a bike-a-thon at 8 years old, Jonathan Thompson has been a force for positivity in his Cape Cod community.

From performing in a local R&B group as a teen to producing hundreds of dances, concerts, tournaments and fundraisers, JT has spent more than 25 years entertaining the community he loves.

In 2014 a single video about a knee injury and the comedy of errors that followed gave birth to JT's Chronicles. The daily video blogs, from the "Morning Bus Ride with Bob" to cameos from neighbors (and a fun moment with Kevin Bacon), grew to over 30,000 followers. Almost every one opens with "Good morning... you are watching the Chronicles" and ends with "I love you."

Whether it's a word of encouragement, a rally for families in hard times or a laugh to start your day, JT has his finger on the pulse of the people.
