Jotham, active and involved in his community, played soccer and chess in High School and was a member of the crew (rowing) team at Princeton University.

Before entering law school at Stanford University, Jotham drove a cab in Philadelphia, joined the Teamsters Union, hitchhiked across Europe and Africa, and raced luges (sleds), once ranking 16th in United States.

Upon returning home from South America, Jotham became a Lecturer in Legal Research and Writing at School of Law (Boalt Hall), University of California at Berkeley where he taught law students to research thoroughly, write cogently and advocate clearly.
