A life-long resident of Connecticut, John is a graduate of Trinity College, Wesleyan University, and the University of Connecticut. His professional career has been dedicated to environmental stewardship and conservation. His first volume of poems, In the Lilac Hour, (Antrim House Books), was published in 2020.
