Rank: Commander
Assignment: 1st Officer
Status: Active
DOB: 4 Mar 1990
Past: Top of his academy class. Distingushed and fast-paced career. Relieved Captain Stark of command of the seaQuest.

Jonathan Ford entered the US Naval Academy in 2007. The top of his class, he led a fast-paced career. Ford was offered the commander’s position aboard the seaQuest, a top-notch position for a top-notch officer. Part of the first tour of the seaQuest under Captain Marilyn Stark, Ford was forced to relieve her of command, and she was later discharged from Norpac Command. Admiral Noyce ordered him to act arrogant and unfit for command in the effort to get Bridger to stay on board. When Bridger accepted, he made certain the Navy’s military interests are upheld with Bridger’s sometimes too science-oriented mentality.

Having a very serious nature (which results in a dry sense of humor), Ford is able to handle high-risk situations confidently. He and Lonnie Henderson develop a mutual attraction for each other, leading to a ship-board romance. He spends most of his time working on the bridge, and enjoys theater, music, and courses which have little or no relevance to society, such as the Fractal Theories of Cold Fusion. He also plays the piano.
