John played football growing up. He was more into the arts of music. John played many instruments, but mainly piano. Piano has always been a big thing for him. Even now, he has a piano in his house that was his mother's. It is very important to him, and though he needs it retuned after a recent move, he plays it frequently.

John grew up in Sabina, OH in a farm house his family built. The family had been there for so many generations, the road is actually named after them. Hence forth, Luttrell Rd. John lived there with his father, mother, and four siblings. John purchased the house and land from his family after he married his wife, Amy. They had lived there up until about a month ago, when they moved into a temporary home while transitioning for a future move to San Diego.

What's the best part of aging?

John's favorite thing about aging is the fact that he's gotten to see other's maturing and growing in his life. Whether that's his own kids or the ones from his church that he has taken under his wing and mentored. He loves being able to give back.
