Jonathan spends the majority of his “home” time with his wife Michelle and one-year-old daughter Charlotte, often with some combination of his growing niece and nephew contingent – currently five little rascals aged 4 and under! Occasionally, he is lucky enough to indulge in his passions for travel, golf, hiking, movies, reading/writing, Toronto sports teams (sadly), and Barberians steakhouse. While he is happy to be back in Canada after five years abroad, he misses the mild British winters and the full English breakfasts!
