John Williams:  

Life Wow, the bio of John M. Williams.....well, high school was a challange to put it lightly. Going from the "bookworm" extreme to that of a "stoner thug" was quite the transition. While I adapted well to that "life" I was still a nerd/bookworm at heart and did what it took to leave the area and pursue a lifestyle change.

Im always looking out for the next Ms. Right , but I would have to say that for the last 16 years I have been "married" to my business as well as a single parent raising my son. I have had a lot of help in that area, but for the most part, the last 15-19 years of my life have been about raising my son and building a business, and so its been a real challenge.
