Jonathan moved to Galway from England in 1992. He recently attained Irish citizenship and proudly holds an Irish passport, making travel within Europe much simpler. 

Jonathan worked as an Actuary and Finance Director of Acorn Life for nearly twenty years and still does part time work for them.  Apart from Hope, he is a non executive director of four other charities and not-for-profit organisations.

Jonathan has four adult children but was widowed twenty years ago. However, he is now married to a Galway girl, Carmel and they have fifteen grandchildren between them to keep them busy.

Jonathan’s interests would be church stuff, golf and spending time in the Algarve with Carmel.
