John was born in Washington DC and raised in the Washington metropolitan suburbs of Rockville, Maryland. He grew up in the Church of Christ as a young child where he learned to love, care, and comfort those around him. He and his wife, Astrid, have been married for over 30 years. They have 3 children and 2 grandchildren, who have taught him patience, while simultaneously bestowing all of the pride and joy that any father could ask for. During his years after high school, his uncle and neighbor, both contractors themselves, taught him their carpentry and masonry skills. After learning all that he could, John went on to open his own contracting company, but decided, after several years and many prayers, to return to college to study pharmacy.

He graduated from the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy in 2008, and has worked in retail pharmacy both as a staff pharmacist and pharmacy manager for a total of 13 years. He has decided to move on to the next chapter of his life and to open an independent pharmacy.
