John accompanied the NLCC Youth Group, of which he was a member to Mexico with the task of helping to build a worship facility in 1999. In 2006, his family was yet again filled with pride to watch him complete his basic training in the top 7% of his class as an honor graduate from Lackland AFB. John's career goal was to become an air traffic controller. His interests were guitars, electronics, camping and working on cars, to name a few.
