As John was growing up in a small suburban town on Long Island, he did not read much and as a result, did not develop his writing skills. It was only after he attended college and majored in 18th and 19th century English literature that he was inspired to learn and to grow as a writer and his literary and writing skills improved dramatically. His appreciation for creative writing continues today and has become a very personal and gratifying pursuit. He especially enjoys writing poems, short stories, lyrics and songs.
