Personal
I was raised in a small farming community Southern Ontario just west of Toronto. My non-academic hobbies include playing baseball, running, playing guitar, writing short stories, and enjoying family time with my wife, Kaitlin, and twin boys, Mason and Austin. I am also known to frequent coffee shops and open mics. Despite my Canadian blood, I have never learned to skate.
My brother is Nathaniel Johnston, a fellow mathematician specializing in quantum information theory at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick.
