Born in the UK Jonathan attended Hertford college, Oxford, where he read physics. He went on to a career in oil trading for around 25 years in London, Geneva, Houston and New York. Unfortunately this career played havoc with his depression and anxiety and he suffered much upheaval and a devastating betrayal. He also suffered through two tough marriages but has four children who he credits for his still being alive today. Jonathan loves travel, books, movies, soccer, rugby and of course his children.
