A coma is the least peaceful place you can be. Jonathan Koch learned this firsthand after being in a coma for several weeks after a near-death illness in 2015. When he woke up, he realized that he had lost all four of his limbs. He underwent a hand transplant surgery in late 2016 and has had one of the fastest recoveries ever for a surgery of this type. He made the conscious decision to survive and attack the challenge of a long road to recovery.
JONATHAN KOCH has been the President and Chief Creative Officer for Asylum Entertainment. He has pitched Hollywood television and movie ideas for many years. In 2015, he experienced a sudden illness that affected his entire body and due to this illness, has recently been the recipient of a hand transplant via cutting edge technology. Jonathan continues to work as a producer while he works on his recovery.
