about me

nice to meet you

Hello, I am Jonathan but these two guys are my dogs Hugo and Harvey. Anytime I have that is not spent on my PhD, is spent with these two.

I am in the 1st year of my research. My PhD is in Law and focuses on the risks of leverage and liquidity in the private debt market. 

My research will consist of exploring the theory of regulation and if the current legislative environment is sufficient should the financial sector face extraneous events.

I hope that you will find some useful information within my blogs and that if you are more mature than the average person in the adventure you want to undertake, that you can find some inspiration to go ahead and start the challenge.

upcoming projects

This year is one of new adventures for me. I am learning to sail and to be a first year cricket umpire.

To provide me with relief from my studies, I joined a sailing club and have met most of the members who have been incredibly welcoming and helpful. It is great to meet new friends who have such a passion to welcome you into activities they are passionate about.

I was kindly given a GP14 sailing dinghy and I completed the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Levels 1 & 2 course for an introduction to sailing. 

I recently completed the English Cricket Board (ECB) course to become a cricket umpire. As I am not as young as I used to be, becoming an umpire allows me to still be involved in one of my favourite sports.

Stay tuned for updates of my assured capsizing and the mistakes I will make in cricket games this season.
