He graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service, majoring in International Politics. At Georgetown John met his future wife, Leslie Hunley of Knoxville, Tennessee. Since 1990, John has made Knoxville his home. His professional path began as a Federal Investigator in D.C. before he enrolled at the University of Tennessee College of Law, where he earned his J.D. in 1994.
