I majored in computational mathematics at U of Toronto many years ago. I was in geek heaven using math models and computer simulation to solve complex physical problems like how a speaker diaphragm reacts to air pressure inside a speaker box, or what is the right air density to bounce a ping pong ball in midair. Then one day it dawned on me that I might need a practical skill to earn a living in case this computer thing did not work out. So, I got a backup degree in actuarial science - thankfully, this computer thing kind of worked out for me. I started out as a developer right after school. As much as I loved programming, I learned quickly that it was easier to make a living by talking, so I got into sales, and then management. Jonahites are an amazing bunch, they are engaging, diverse and infinitely interesting. The Jonah environment cultivates intellectual independence and encourages professional curiosity. It is a great place to work. I am an athletic geek and I have an obsessive need to be active. The longest gap between two workouts in the last two decades for me is two days - despite numerous injuries (self-inflicted or otherwise), countless business trips around the world and even an excursion into the Serengeti. Most treasured personal accomplishment: Being a father to my daughter. The most exotic location I have traveled to: Ngorongoro Crater Safari in Tanzania, a wildlife preserve on top of a dormant volcano. Favourite keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-S, got burned too many times.
