I was not going to bore anyone with my history but after reading Wojtech’s bio I had to respond with something. I too tried my hand at porn—oops probably not a good way to put that--never mind! Anyway, I am betting John’s career was “real short.”
After graduation I joined the U S Navy for four years which included two tours of Viet Nam. It was an amazing experience. After I left the Navy I wandered without direction for a few years and finally started working for a masonry company. During that time I married and have been so for 32 years to my wife Debbie. Five months after we were married I had a serious accident on a construction site which happened to be NC and which left me permanently crippled. I then had no choice but to return to school. In 1985 I graduated with an Accounting degree and without honors.
In 1991, I went to work for the Natrona County Treasurer’s office. In 2003, I was elected to the position of Natrona County Treasurer and once again in 2007, and currently still hold that position. Of note, 4 of the top 5 elected officials in Natrona County graduated from KWHS—and I assume that is a good thing—two of us are from this class.
I feel my greatest accomplishment began a little more than five years ago when my wife and I began foster care. We have had many children in our home along with many trials and tribulations but it has been most rewarding. From all of this we have adopted four wonderful and ornery children, now ages 7, 5, 3, and 1. Three are boys, and all brothers, and the 3 year old is a little girl. Two of the boys were abandoned and after two and a half years of having them in our home we could not let them go. Their brother came along when both parents ended up in prison. The 3 year old we had for a year and a half before the courts took her away from her dad. The entire 5+ years has been an education and the experience of a lifetime--and exhausting--the first year and a half we did not make it through an entire night w/o at least one kid waking in the night.
We were previously blessed with three children of our own Jennifer, Tanner, and Ben, now ages 24, 20, and 14, respectively. Jennifer is a teacher and spent six months in London teaching and this fall begins a job with the Natrona County School District. Tanner is currently in boot camp just beginning a four year stint with the U S Navy. Ben is in 8th grade at Dean Morgan. They are good kids and we are proud of them all.
