John is a native of West Virginia. He was born in 1966. After serving on active duty with the United States Army as a Combat Engineer, West Virginia requested that he find a more suitable place to reside. He found that the Ozarks were much like home and headed west. He is tolerated by his wife and adored by his two children, who are too young to know any better.

  The State of Missouri allows him to practice law. However it requests that he limit his practice to times when there is an adult around to supervise. In an extraordinary act of misjudgment, Dan and Steve saw fit to get him admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. He has since bamboozled the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and United States Supreme Court into admitting him.

  John took several classes at a university. Having no earthly idea what he wanted, he settled on philosophy. Marshall University gave him the heave-ho in 1996 and conferred a B.A. degree. To insure he would have no excuse for returning, even with the onset of old age or deafness they made it a laude degree. You may recognize Marshall as the Thundering Herd, the Division II football champions who trounced Missouri University in 1995. Always being one for the underdog, John headed to Missouri for law school.

  He attended Washington University. It is still rumored he received his letter of admission by mistake. Once there, the administration had to find a way to limit the time he would be in class and disrupt the other students. They decided to keep him occupied by making him an associate editor for the Washington University Law Quarterly.

   The senior members of the firm have adopted a similar strategy for keeping John out of the office and away from the paying clients. They encourage his attendance at meetings of the Butler County Bar Association of which he is the Vice President. He was a member of the SEMOLS Board of Directors, until his non sequiturs forced them to decamp Cape Girardeau. It is rumored they are hold-up in Springfield. In addition, he has served in the United States Army Reserves, Missouri National Guard JAG Corps and, in 2004, was named one of Missouri’s Up and Coming lawyers.

Amy is charged with the duty of keeping John out of the office. She started her career as a legal secretary with the firm in 1997 and has questioned the decision frequently since.

Appointments with John can be arranged through Amy during normal business hours.
