Author's Bio

John graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Leadership Development from New York University. After a long career in banking, John retired to Cambodia, where he lived for five years. John saw the worst in expats and how colonization can destroy a people and a country.  John began writing in 2023 and has almost one hundred publications to his credit, most recently published in The Vault, The Well Street Journal, Men Matters, The Marbled Sigh, and Wayfarer.  John writes in hopes that perhaps in some small way his words can bring truth, justice, and change to this fucked up world.
