But Jonathan leads a double life, because he is also a full-time instructor with the Sauder School of Business and an Associate Member of the Department of Family Practice (Faculty of Medicine), both at the University of British Columbia. Jonathan is recognized as an outstanding teacher, having won the Killam Teaching Prize for undergraduate teaching and CGA Graduate Master Teacher Award for MBA teaching, both at the Sauder School, as well as many awards and commendations from students. In addition, he teaches short courses and workshops for a number of public and private sector groups. His passion for teaching also extends to younger audiences, regularly performing shows on math magic, word games, and puzzles in school classrooms. In his consulting life, Jonathan has been involved in a wide range of collaborative and interdisciplinary research in health care and medical research, social science, engineering, biotechnology, transportation, law, management consulting, market research, and accounting. His clients enthusiastically describe him as a “user friendly” statistician! He has contributed to numerous successful research grant applications, and has co-written many peer-reviewed journal articles and other publications. He has also helped more than 100 graduate students complete their degrees. While numbers are his vocation, words are his avocation. A passion for puzzles, word games, and puns infiltrates all aspects of his life, including the classroom. He is an active member of the National Puzzlers’ League, and for six years was the puzzle composer and editor for the American Statistical Association’s CHANCE magazine. Jonathan and his wife have two children, both of whom graduated from Canadian business schools and have careers in quantitative fields, a classic illustration of the power of both nature and nurture.
