About John

I'm from the small farming town of Lamesa in West Texas. Pretty much everything about Lamesa shaped me – good and bad.

My father was a farmer who desperately wanted his children to become lawyers. His wish came true. When I graduated from Oklahoma City University School of Law, I was incredibly lucky to obtain a job with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

The Bureau was an amazing place and one of the true pioneers in law enforcement. We assisted with prosecutions all over the State of Oklahoma and oversaw every aspect of the operation.
