Following emigration to the United States, he worked as a Risk Control Consultant until he retire in 2014.¿ As a child, John enjoyed drawing and painting as well as designing and building models. In his teenage years, he developed an interest in electronics and moved on to making amplifiers and preamplifiers.¿ John thrives on gaining knowledge and applying what he has learned to develop his craft. He later combined those skills and made enclosures for speakers, seeing his projects through from conceptual stage to completion.¿ John values working with his hands and has often been found completely absorbed in his projects. An insatiable curiosity about how things work has encouraged an almost lifelong pursuit of the answers to what initiated the universe and the forces needed to maintain order. Adamant in his belief that all natural occurrences are governed by logic, John always knew must be a rational explanation for existence.¿ Having raised three daughters, John is currently enjoying retirement with his wife and their two dogs in Arizona.
