Ginter's Pope

John is an information security analyst in banking. He has graduated five times from VCU, holding a BS and MS in Information Systems, and Post Baccalaureate Certificates in Instructional Technology, Nonprofit Management, and Geospatial Information Systems. John served as a Navy Corpsman with the Marine Corps and did a tour of duty for Desert Storm. He has traveled extensively and documented all of it in words and photos. The images are all on Flickr. He married the love of his life in 2014, risking the happiness they had built over the first 28 years of their relationship. The only thing that changed for them was the jokes they tell.

He waited until he hit middle age before he started writing seriously. His favorite genre to read (and write) is Historical Fiction. John is in a number of book clubs and strives to read across all topics and genres. His favorite authors include Patrick Gale, Rachel Joyce, and Amor Towles.
