About John
Biography
I love NFL football (NY Giants fan for life) and golf but....alas no better than a 100 round kind of guy...prefer the 19th hole over the other 18 holes just suffered. This is a painful admission because I was born in Glasgow, Scotland....the home of golf. I should be good at this game, right? In any event - would you want your lawyer to be thinking about your legal matters or playing golf all the time?
