Thompson. Blessed with an interesting heritage of horse liberating Confederates from his fathers family and hearty French-Canadian stock from his mothers family, John developed a love for history, reading, the outdoors, and travel, just to name a few.
As an enlisted machinist mate in Uncle Sams greater canoe club (the US Navy), John sailed the high seas of the Pacific and Indian Oceans onboard the USS Hector AR-7. It was during some of his down time at sea and ashore, in which he enjoyed hilariously rousing D&D adventures with several of his shipmates, chief among them his best friends Tim and Matt (Digger). John later served as an Infantry Officer in the Michigan Army National Guard and received his Bachelors degree in Business from Eastern Michigan University.
With travels to over twenty countries and almost all of the states, Johns civilian work experiences include some of the following; newspaper boy; a swimming instructor, custodian, security (bouncer) at some local watering holes; traumatic brain injury facility house manager; selling cars; a computer software instructor; chaperoning international travel groups; manager of a law office; a restaurant manager; and a building facilities supervisor. Currently, John resides in Michigan and is a supervisor with the University of Michigan Hospitals Security and Entrance Services Department.
This is his first novel and it is a mixture of all the above, along with some other life experiences and a generous dose of imagination, that are the basis for his tales. Enjoy!view less
