Jonathan stands a non-descript 6'2" tall and weighs in at about 180 lb (80Kg).
He has short blond hair, and cobalt blue eyes that seem to almost glow making
it very hard to win a staring match with him (They are disconcerting at times).
He has only two small scars, one on his back from a minor surgery and another
on his left middle finger from slipping on his great-uncle's boat.  He looks
like he is not a powerful nor fast individual, but he constantly works out
to maintain his peak physical shape (and to help with therapy...see Psych Eval).

History
 
Jonathan led a "normal" childhood up until the age of 7.  He played games with the
other children in the area and enjoyed himself.  However, on the fateful afternoon
of April 17 he watched as the transport his parents were on crashed into the landing pad
of the local port.  He was awaiting his parents return from visiting the graves of
his mother's parents (deceased before Jonathan can remember), a pilgrimage made once a
year.
 
Jonathan, still not understanding death, wondered why his parents had left him.  His 
paternal grandfather became his guardian.  When he finally understood, he was still shocked
and dismayed.  His grandfather, a professor in computer science at MIT, started his love
of reading and computers.  This education continued for 5 years under the expert tuteledge
of "gramps"(Dr. Russell Walsh).
 
At the age of 12 Jonathan's grandfather contracted degenerative neural disease, and in months had
 
died.  This shattered Jonathan's beliefs in the world.  For all his experience with it Jonathan
 
still could not handle his grief well.  He still felt helpless in the world.
 
Jonathan's next guardian (His grandfather's youngest brother) was a former officer
in Starfleet and lived on the outskirts of Chicago.  As a charter boat operator on
Lake Michigan, Morgan Walsh led a slow pastoral life.  However, Morgan's history
was anything but passive.  As a Lieutenant in Starfleet he had been present when the
Borg had attacked Earth the first time, being one of the few survivors of the Battle
of Wolf 359. 
 
Jonathan continued his interest in reading literature, collecting old classics including
the works of Asimov, Heinlein, Verne, Milton, and Shakespeare.  As well as beginning some
training in the martial arts (both armed and unarmed).  He was brought up into a rich
tradition that was based on a family history of space and sea faring.
 
At the age of 17 Jonathan submitted his application to Starfleet, but ended up not making
the entrance requirements for that year.  He was disheartened until he saw all the famous
officers that had failed their first entrance exam.  Determined to make the next entrance
test Jonathan devoted his time to practiceing and wanting to become a part of Starfleet
(to make his parents proud, wherever they may be).  The next year he resubmitted his
application for admittance and passed the exam, so began his Academy career.
 
At the Academy Jonathan found himself having to deal more and more with people, something
he hadn't done all that much of since his early childhood (he thought that everyone who
got near him had just increased their likelihood of death, something he still has trouble
dealing with).  Living for four years with people of his own age greatly helped him to
cope, allowing him to try and return to his childhood memories of friends.
 
During his stay at the Academy Jonathan became more adept at computers, allowing him to
become one of the best at them in his class.  His success in computers led to better his
grades in other engineering and scientific classes.  While at the Academy he also gained
qualification as a pilot (although he hesitates occasionally when behind the controls).
 
Jonathan eventually chose a curriculum suited to science and engineering, making it his
area of emphasis.  This greatly pleased his great-uncle who had replications of two
family heirlooms made an old US Navy Cutlass, and a US Navy Saber.  Jonathan received
these as a graduation gift and is still deciding what to do with his new gifts.
 
He has now placed them on one of the walls of his quarters, they provide him
with a sense of calm, and purpose.
 
Academy Recommendations
 
Cadet Jonathan Walsh has my highest recommendation and commendations in the field
of computers.  He has proven several times in my class that he has a knowledge and
understanding of computers that many of the best Engineering and science officers
wish and pray for.  In my class I was impressed by how much I was able to teach
and learn from this young man.  I read some of his research from grade school and
was amazed at how insightful and well thought out his ideas were.  Again I give
my highest recommedation to Cadet (soon to be Ensign) Jonathan Walsh in the field
of computers.
Respectfully,
Ronald Wermann
Professor, Starfleet Academy
 
Cadet Walsh has, without a doubt, been one of my most determined students, however,
he is not anywhere near the top of his class.  He is now a qualified small craft
pilot and fully qualified helmsman, but only barely.  Though I wish not to shame
him in his career in Starfleet I must state that he has problems when faced with
unexpected problems at helm.  He has no problems in the repair or weapons positions
but he hesitates when faced with problems at the helm of a small craft, a trait
that can lead to endangerment of not only himself but his crewmates as well.
When at the helm of a larger craft he has no such problems, only at the controls
of small craft does he freeze, if only for a second.  I can and do give my highest
recommendation that Cadet Walsh be placed in a position for which he is suited,
however, that is not at the helm of a small craft.
Respectfully,
CDR Mavis Beaumont
Instructor Ship Systems, Starfleet Academy
 
Cadet Walsh has shown himself to be a bright and determined student.  In the
field of engineering he has shown an apptitude for solving problems.  He has
proven in multiple simulations that he has understood and synthesized classroom
data and learning in a practical laboratory environment.  He has shown great
promise with computer problems and seems to have an understanding of the
full engineering systems.  He has my recommendation as an engineering or science
officer upon reaching his first assigned duty.
Respectfully,
LCDR Gregory Worthington
Instructor Engineering Systems, Starfleet Academy
 
Cadet Walsh has been an ideal student in combat training.  While not the best
at unarmed combat, when given a melee weapon he is able to defend himself
against almost all of his classmates.  In ranged weapons he has proven adequate
but not exemplary.  When given opportunities to modify weapons again he excels,
but he is not quite as good at fabrication of weapons from natural materials.
Respectfully,
LT Richard von Heidelberg
Instructor Personal Combat, Starfleet Academy
 
 
Starfleet Awards/Recommendations
 
--->Excerpt from Report 18003, Lieutenant Aharon Yariv, Holodeck
    Instructor, Holodeck 18, Armstrong Lunar Base
 
...Both the students showed remarkable teamwork, on the same level as many
veterans I've worked with and far better than what I've seen displayed on
some of my fleet assignments. Their knowledge of procedure, rules and
general information was fair but their application and use was their most
impressive display, scoring well above average. Overall, they ranked in
the 95th percentile collectively and it is the sincere belief of this HI
that the students, Ensigns Walsh and Saarin, both will become great assets
to their crews and have promising futures ahead, possibly even command.
 
Lieutenant Aharon Yariv, HI, HD18, ALB
 
Pyschological Evaluation
 
As a result of his somewhat troubled childhood Jonathan Walsh has some problems.  He is
constantly bothered by nightmares of both his parents' and grandfather's deaths, and
because of this he can often be found at odd hours working off frustration in his
multiple work out holodeck programs.  His nightmares grow worse right before the
anniversary of both of these events, but never rising to a level condusive to endangering
himself or those of his team.
 
Jonathan tends to hesitate in some situations, piloting shuttles, and dealing with those
who are seriously ill.  This stems from his early experiences with death and illness.  He
always finds himself troubled when faced with death.  The best therapy for this is to
allow him some experience in the real world, to give him the opportunity to put his
problems in perspective with the world around him.
 
Jonathan is constantly aware of his families tradition ( learned through his great-uncle)
and strives to be the best he can at what he does.  This makes him a little cautious,
but when needed he can make hard descisions.  He is not overtly combatant but his training
has been martial in nature, classifying him as a reluctant warrior.
 
Respectfully,
Lieutenant Commander Sait'lah, Counselor

Comments
 
Jonathan is a young man, dropped into positions of responsibility
normally reserved for older officers, however, he has been on near
constant deployment since reporting to the NEBULA.
He has passed through command tests.  The only thing that he
needs is confidence in his abilities, and that comes with time.
