If he’s not in the woods or fishing, Jonathan confessed to being a big fan of films from the 1990s and early 2000s. His favourite films to this day remain those of the very popular Jurassic Park series. Of a rather calm nature, he approaches life by remembering that we must try not to worry too much because what will happen will happen

Engineer Trainee
An intern at CON-V-AIR Inc. since May 2024, Justin is putting the skills he acquired during his training into practice. He is currently working towards a bachelor’s degree in automated production engineering at the École de technologie supérieure, following technical training in industrial electronics. His academic and professional career has enabled him to develop solid expertise in this exciting and constantly evolving field. Outside his studies and work, he is passionate about motorcycling, tattoos and different technologies. He also finds pleasure in various sports such as skiing, training, cycling and golf. These activities keep him active, help him relax and balance his academic and leisure responsibilities. One of his unusual talents is being able to recognize the make of a car just by looking at its headlights, a little game he often plays for fun. What’s more, few people know that he’s a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu, a discipline that has taught him patience, discipline and perseverance. If he had to give one piece of advice to a younger person wishing to follow in his footsteps, it would be to never give up. Study hard and try to procrastinate as little as possible. Perseverance and discipline are essential for success in whatever you do.
