About John
Biography
I first came to El Paso in 1994 as a soldier Stationed at Ft. Bliss, TX. My time here was initially interrupted by four tours of duty to the Middle East. Because of these early formative experiences, I love to travel, learn of new and different cultures, food, and art. I have lived in five countries including three Mexican states and six U.S. states plus the District of Columbia.
