Who is Jonah T. Pichette?

About me.

Hi!

My name is Jonah T. Pichette, thank you for checking out my website/blog about the city we both know and love. Having spent time in both our formative and teen years visiting Twinsburg, my wife Colleen and I moved here because we knew it would be our forever home, and the city in which we would raise our kids, as well as grow old in. One day, I decided that I wanted to share my love for this city here and share all the fun things I am doing to just make my little corner of the world a little bit of a better place.

Professionally, I am a dedicated Government and Civics educator. I am incredibly proud of the fact that the textbook for my class is the U.S. Constitution, and Ohio Constitution. I buy every student a copy of the U.S. Constitution they can use during our course, and keep when they are done. In my mind, it’s hard to teach others about our system of government without reading our founding document. As a class we analyze the Constitution at the Preamble, and end with the Amendments. So much more is included in between.

Aside from educating the students of the future, I have a general passion for government, the parks, forests, and environment itself. I was able to mix those passions when I was appointed to serve on the City of Twinsburg’s Environmental Commission in 2023. Since February of 2024, I have also served as the Commissions Chair. As a member of the commission, I led discussion on the implementation of a community environmental awards program to help recognize those who are leaving Twinsburg a little bit better than they found it. In 2025, the Commission presented the first “Good Neighbor Award” to a very deserving resident.

If you ever see me around the city, please stop me and say “hello”. I love meeting new people, and I genuinely believe that when neighbors get talking, we will often find out that we have more in common than we have in difference.
