Jonathan Thompson

Welder
Jonathan joined CON-V-AIR in 2006 as a welder and holds a vocational diploma (DEP) in welding. Jonathan is definitely the person on our team who would have the potential to live the most off-grid, with very little technology and very deeply in nature, since this allows him to recharge his batteries, refocus and stay Zen. 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.

Clovis imposes by his presence and his strength. He admitted to us that he can lift the weight of a car with his legs, but make no mistake, he is also incredibly gentle and calm. If he's not camping in the wilderness, you'll probably find him playing computer games such as Lost Ark or Project Zomboid, defending his team in airsoft or travelling in a fantastic universe with his group of Dungeons and Dragons. A big fan of rock music, his best memory remains the Kiss show in 2010 on the Plaines o'Abraham in Quebec city.
