More about John:"A sign of unresolve that, Envisioned, drives the pinwheel On-and-on
Been labeled a "healer" or "Doc" by people all my life, which probably influenced my decision to study psychology and medicine. Physical fitness is my current obsession. I run and work out six days a week and bike and swim whenever I can fit it into my schedule. But I am a writer at heart. Completing and publishing a book is the one thing I would most like to do in this world. Traveling and becoming wealthy are also high on my priorities list.".
