Pre-Starfleet History

John was a geologist, he won awards for his delving into caves and finding rock formations. He owned a rock tumbler and polisher and some said he would make an excellent Terraformer someday. That day never happened, because when he got a lymphoma diagnosis it was the same terminal thing that killed his kid brother. He devoted his life to becoming a doctor. The idea was to prevent others from passing away from diseases and infection. He still regrets not becoming a planetary sciences major but still maintains the hobby.
