When not interviewing dentists on his podcast Start Your Dental Practice, coaching dentists on being a better business owner, or just nerding it up with business owners about ways to be more profitable Jonathan enjoys spending time going to the lake with his wife April, daughter Harper, and son Finn. He’s also been known to play golf. (poorly) Weird facts about Jonathan – he was once ranked in the top ten in the nation at whiffle ball, played bass guitar in a rock band for eight years, and spent his college years playing semi-professional poker.
