John Paul

John Paul was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1954. After spending his formative years in the south east suburbs, he pursued a non-descript life with his wife, son and daughter. He is still domiciled in the south east suburbs but somewhat closer to the nearby hills where much time is spent.

An author in his early twenties, he has published numerous peer reviewed journal papers and books.
