Hi, I'm John!

I grew up working alongside my parents in the tobacco fields of Madison County, North Carolina. We were migrant workers, and we would travel from Western North Carolina to the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, for work.

I graduated from Madison High School in May of 2008. I went to prison the following year. I was released in December 2010. This journey before and after made me the man I am today.

While in prison, I assisted 30 other people to get their GEDs. I was a Library Assistant and involved in rehabilitation programs. When I was released, I attended school for my Paralegal Technology degree, and experienced homelessness.

I am a paralegal of 12 years in civil litigation and have worked with various attorneys in the area. I became involved in local politics in response to the leaving of the Fontana Regional Library. 

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, playing TTRPGs, spending time with my partner and our 11 furbabies.
