Meet...Jonathan


Name: Jonathan Ross.

School: Periodontics Residency.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job: Picking the brains of those that have been at this for awhile.

Bad habit: Procrastination.

Pet peeve: People with pet peeves.

If you could try anything and not fail, what dream would you attempt: Climb K2, but it might not be as exciting if I knew I couldn’t fail. (K2 in the Himalayas is Earth’s second-highest peak and arguably the hardest climb in the world.)

Biggest fear: Paying my student loans.

Favorite place in the world: Rome.

What would you do with a free day: Play outside.

Something people don’t know about you: In my previous career, I was a futures trader.

With what famous person would you want to be friends with: Keanu Reeves. It amazes me that someone with so little talent can be so relevant.

Favorite quote: Winning isn’t permanent; Failing isn’t fatal—Mike Ditka.

What are your plans upon graduation: I’m opening a practice in Bluffton.
