Eric Jonsson

My family and I live in California but I grew up sailing and bodysurfing in Hawaii. After college, I worked as a civilian engineer for the Navy and raced boats whenever I could..

My wife and I met in graduate school. I worked for a construction company until our first child was born; I’ve been a full-time father ever since. We have lived both in the United States and overseas. I’ve participated in numerous NOLS Field and Medicine courses. I enjoy hiking and body surfing.
