The author is of Indian descent and was born in England to Jamaican and Guyanese East Indian immigrants. His father served in the RAF (Royal Air Force) during WW2, and his mother trained as a nurse in England. John is a neoconservative with a diverse background and was educated in the British and American systems. He lived in Jamaica after leaving England and attended Clarendon College in Chapelton (a mountain community in the central region). His education includes the Cambridge University Examinations, a Bachelor's degree in Technical Management, a Post-Baculerate certification as a Paralegal, a Master's in International Policy and Practice from The George Washington University, Elliott School of International Affairs, and numerous professional military and government courses. His academic tracks heavily concentrate on Transnational Security, Strategic Leadership, Aviation, and International Policy. John is a former Commissioned Warrant Officer (CW3) in the United States Army Aviation Corps, a graduate of the U.S. Army Warrant Officer Career College, U.S. Army Aviation Flight Academy, U.S. Army Intelligence School, U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center, and holds Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certifications as a Flight Engineer (FE), Commercial Pilot (CP), and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP). He is also dual-rated as an aviator in Helicopters and Airplanes. He holds occupational certification as an Aviation Safety Officer and Aircraft Accident Investigator, Intelligence Aircraft Pilot, Rotor Wing Reconnaissance Pilot, Electronic Warfare Officer, Information System Security Officer, and Flight Operations Officer. During his career, he has been deployed for many operations worldwide, and in his last assignment, he supported multiple operations in Europe and Asia. Upon completing his service, he changed careers and went to UPS Airlines as a commercial pilot, flying the DC8, B757, and B767-300ER platforms internationally. After 9/11, John volunteered for training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) to be a Deputized Federal Aviation Law Enforcement Officer assigned under the Department of Homeland Security. John is a disabled American veteran who is extremely thankful and proud of his service to the United States Army.
