John's parents ran a cargo business as the owners and operators of a cargo ship. John was born and raised on the ship. His mother was killed during a pirate raid, and died in John's arms. It was after that he decided to go into a life of medicine, and to Starfleet, to protect others from the same fate.

Education

John's formal education was done by his mother on board their ship, with the aid of the ships computers. He learned basic anatomy and physiology as a necessity, to deal with any injuries that might have occurred on the ship. When his mother died, simply because he did not have the medical training required when his ship was attacked by pirates, John knew that no-one should go through what he did. He decided to dedicate his life to medicine and starfleet, and in 2409 he was accepted to Starfleet Medical to begin his journey... John also has educated himself with a 2 year stint at Harvoard Medical Universtiy, but dropped out due to social problems with one of his lecturers
